The organizations will be tasked with providing staffing support for the district’s 42 after-school programs, which are struggling to keep up with high demand, administrators said.
The programs serve roughly 5,000 students, with the capacity limited to 120 students per site, typically underperforming students. Through the programs, students can participate in academic interventions and enrichment activities, and receive help with homework.
