DISCUSSION:
Background Summary
The City of Fontana is currently in an Agreement with the Fontana Unified School District (FUSD) as the Fontana Expanded Program (FELP) Provider. FELP is an After School Education and Safety (ASES) Grant and Expanded Learning Opportunities Program (ELO-P) funded program.
As part of the grant required curriculum components, FELP provides leadership opportunities and 21st Century Skill lessons to meet the program requirements as well as align with the district’s efforts to prepare student education and leadership exploration.
To support the operating Agreement between the City and FUSD, FELP is recommending, per FUSD request, to contract with TA Mentoring Services LLC to provide and deliver the Noble Youth Leadership Program at the Fontana Expanded Learning Program’s five (5) Middle School sites. The program will support student leadership development and expose them to Social Emotional Skills needed for successful social and academic achievement.
The Noble Youth Leadership curriculum will focus on teaching participants important life values such as respect, dignity, love, and trust. In addition, participants will train FELP staff on the Noble Youth Leadership curriculum.
This curriculum is unique as it offers a well-rounded approach to children, families, academics, and community education programs. It is a sole-source contract as the curriculum is only available through TA Mentoring Services LLC and meets grant requirements. Purchasing Policy 3.1.5 allows the purchase when no competitive advantage would be gained from unique services that are only available from one source.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The program cost is $517,000.00 and is budgeted in the adopted FY 2024/2025 Community Services Department operating budget in account 38624101.8130. The cost is 100% fully reimbursable.
MOTION:
Approve a contract with TA Mentoring Services LLC for the Fontana Expanded Learning Program at five (5) FELP middle school sites.
