CONTENTS: Memorandum of Understanding
Recommendation
By Minute Motion, authorize the Mayor to execute a Memorandum of Understanding
(MOU) between Desert Sands Unified School District, Palm Desert Charter Middle
School, and the City of Palm Desert relative to the After School Program at Palm
Desert Charter Middle School (Contract No. C31960 ).
Executive Summary
The City of Palm Desert continues to be an active participant in the after school
programs located at Palm Desert Charter Middle School (PDCMS) and Lincoln
Elementary School. City Council reviewed funding for the programs as part of the FY
2012/13 Budget process, and as a result, funding was included within the budget.
Discussion
PDCMS' After School Program continues to serve approximately 150 students. The
City awarded $75,000 as part of the FY 2011/2012 Budget, which allowed many
children to participate in a structured after school program with adult supervision.
PDCMS' After School Program keeps youth engaged and prevents children, in many
cases with working parents, from being left home alone. The MOU will allow continued
collaboration between the parties to implement the Program and authorize staff from the
school to administer the program.
