IV. Items Scheduled For Information
A.
Update CDE/LACOE Meeting Re: ASES and 21st Century Programs
With the closure of YPI on Friday, October 21, 2019, an after school program called Think Together has stepped in to take over 21st century/ ASES programs for any of the schools that would like to partner. Think Together hired hundreds of YPI tutors and provided after school services that following Monday.
B.
GEAR UP update
The services for GEAR Up are at a hault as Ms. King-Berg is working with the Department of Education to bring the grant in house, unless they can find another agency YPICS can sub-grant to. YPICS preference is to take over until another agency who can provide the services YPI did. YPICS will potentially hire 17 full-time former YPI GEAR Up staff to provide services for around two months until YPICS can procure a contractor who is better suited to run the program.
C.
Brown Act Training Update/Review
The Board of Trustees was asked to review the Brown Act packet sent by YMC as a refresher. YMC will be conducting the Brown Act training at the board meeting in December.
