The Red Clay Consolidated School District announces the availability of approximately $400,000.00 for Summer Academic & Wellness Programs. The intent of this Request for Proposal (RFP) is to provide innovative services to children to participate in educational activities that prevent summer learning loss, and to experience healthy behaviors and activities, and 3) promotes citizenship and positive peer interaction. The District is soliciting applications from qualified vendors to provide programs that address the stated priorities. The funding is expected to provide a safe, positive environment for elementary school age youth that enhances academic achievement, supports social and physical development and strengthens youth relationships with adults and peers, while strengthening youth protective factors and reducing risk factors. Target populations for Summer Academic & Wellness Programs are children who are enrolled in the District’s sanctioned Summer Enrichment Program at one of the four sites (Lewis, Warner, Johnson and Shortlidge Elementary Schools). Wherever possible, programs will serve children in an inclusionary format that meets the needs of children of varying abilities and exceptionalities. The proposal should also contain detailed information regarding the administrative and educational support services that will be provided to satisfy the requirements outlined in this request for proposal.
