The Community-Wide After School Programs ("After School Programs") have been created to provide children and youth with life skills, enrichment and academic support in a safe and drug-free environment and to assist the Flagstaff community in developing resilient youth who are less likely to engage in high risk behaviors and who are more likely to become healthy, well-rounded adults, able to contribute to society in meaningful ways. The After School Programs have particular focus for the latchkey child who has no adult at home before or after the regular school day.

The City of Flagstaff has supported the development, implementation, and sustainment of a community-wide afterschool initiative since fiscal year (FY) 1999-2000.  In FY 2008-09, the City funded FACTS at $364,420, in FY 2009-10 it was $319,757, in FY 2010-11 it was $249,819, then FY 2011-12 was $247,319 until FY 2016-17.  Since FY 2016-17, the amount was increased to $272,319.
 
This fiscal year 2020-2021 funding to FUSD is in the amount of $272,319, so no increase from the previous IGA.

This agreement covers related afterschool programs for the Fiscal Year 2021.  The Agreement may be renewed for a maximum of four (4) additional one (1) year terms, subject to annual budget appropriations.

Those who benefit from the After School program include:

• Children - Safety, recreation, expanded horizons
• Families - peace of mind, focus on work responsibilities
• Employers/Workforce - Limits distractions, decreases absenteeism, late arrivals and early departure

The After School Program has grown in terms of both funding and services to the community.  Alliance agencies, as well as numerous other non-profit organizations, are involved, and the advisory committee for the FUSD After School Program has made strides in attaining active involvement from the business community and Coconino County.
