The total cost to operate said services is $40,000 per school, with HUSD and the Library sharing the cost. The City leverages federal, state, and local special revenue funding to support the costs of programming.
Some of the tutoring services at the HSCs will be provided by California State University, East Bay (CSUEB) students participating in the College Corps program. CSUEB will be providing up to $21,000 in funding over the 2023-2024 school year (in two payments up to $10,500) to support this program. Staff requests Council execute the MOU with HUSD, execute the agreement with CSUEB, and accept and appropriate up to $101,000 in the Local Grants Fund (240) from HUSD and CSUEB for FY 2024. With Council approval, staff will appropriate the funding into the Library Department’s Education Services budget and provide services per the terms and conditions of the agreements with HUSD and CSUEB.
