Background and Discussion:

County Connections Youth Summer Initiative provides grants to organizations that offer comprehensive summer programming, short-term projects, and other enrichment for children ages 5-18 through The Harris County Department of Education’s (HCDE) Center for Afterschool Summer and Enrichment (CASE) for Kids. County Connections fills gaps in existing enrichment services for youth, sponsors full and partial scholarships to assist families with program fees, and includes college and career readiness initiatives for older children.

 

The amendment to the ILA between HCDE and Harris County is needed due to the Early Childhood Initiatives team moving to the DEEO. 

 

Expected Impact:

The approval of this amendment will enable HCDE to maintain an active ILA with the appropriate department responsible for program management.

 

Alternative Options:

Failure to approve this amendment could potentially disrupt the execution of County Connections, as HCDE will not be contracted with the appropriate department.
