Background and Discussion:

 

The MOU between the Harris County Department of Education (HCDE), located at 6300 Irvington Blvd., Houston, TX 77022, and Harris County Precinct Two, located at 14350 Wallisville Rd., Suite 101, Houston, TX 77049, outlines an agreement where Precinct Two certifies allowable county funds, enabling HCDE to access additional federal matching funds. 

 

These match funds will be allocated to support out of school time programming in Precinct Two as an in-kind contribution for services, supplies, professional development, and technical assistance/coordination during the certification period from October 1, 2024, through September 15, 2025.

 


 

Expected Impact:

This partnership will allow expanded access to out of school time programming for students in Precinct Two.  By certifying allowable funds, Precinct Two enables HCDE to leverage federal matching funds, increasing financial in-kind resources for educational and enrichment opportunities.  This partnership will support development of youth programming aimed at enhancing learning, engagement, staff development and personal growth for local youth during the term of 10/1/24 - 9/15/25.
