21st Century Community Learning Centers
Kendall Greens High School is pleased to announce that the Florida Department of Education has awarded funding for a four-year grant to establish a 21st Century Community Learning Center (21st CCLC) at Kendall Greens High School. The new funding targets students in grades 9-12 prominently focusing on Academic Success, Credit Recovery, College and Career Readiness, Mixed Media instruction, and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math). The grant provides $244,412.35 per year beginning August 1, 2024, and ending July 31, 2028.
The 21st CCLC is a program authorized under Title IV, Part B of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, as amended by Every Students Succeeds Act (ESSA) Act of 2015. A Community Learning Center is an entity that supports the creation (or expansion) of an established learning center that provides academic enrichment opportunities during non-school hours for students: before school, after school, and summer. The program supports students to meet state and local standards in core academic subjects, provides students a broad array of enrichment activities that can complement the education programs, and offers literacy, as well as other educational services, to the families of participating students. The 21st CCLC program is monitored by FLDOE and must adhere to the following requirements:
1. Provide tutorial services which help students meet the challenging state academic standards.
2. Offer a broad array of additional services, programs, and youth development activities such as: service learning, nutrition, health education, drug and violence prevention, emotional/mental health counseling, arts and music exposure, physical fitness and wellness, technological and vocational experiences, financial literacy, environmental literacy, mathematics and science instruction; and
3. Offer families of students served by community learning centers occasions for active and meaningful engagement in their children’s education, including educational development opportunities.
Kendall Greens High School is working to support academic success, positive youth development, prevention education and life skills through the 21st CCLC program. The program goal is to provide our students and families the opportunity to actively participate in a caring and supportive environment that promotes and develops appropriate social and academic skills.
