ASES Memorandum of Understanding Between ASUD and The Academy of Alameda
The ASES (After-School Education and Safety) Program funds the establishment of local after school education and enrichment programs. These programs are created through partnerships between schools and local community resources to provide literacy, academic enrichment and safe constructive alternatives for students in kindergarten through ninth grade (K-9). Funding is designed to: (1) maintain existing before and after school program funding; and (2) provide eligibility to all elementary and middle schools that submit quality applications throughout California.
Because of COVID-19, California has given schools significant flexibility in supporting students during the school day. We are using our ASES funds (only our middle school receives funding) this year to pay personnel to case manage small groups of targeted students and to provide support for student in our middle school distance learning hubs.
