Explanation

BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Director of the Office of Education to enter into contracts with various community organizations. These contracts will provide funding for after school program services for the period February 1, 2004 through December 31, 2004. The programs are a service for school students of low- and moderate-income working parents. These programs are designed to give children a strong sense of self worth, academic ability, and community responsibility.
