Update on Federal Funding Freeze and the Future of Our After-School Program
Dear WSVSD Families and Community Members,
On July 1, under the direction of the Trump administration, the U.S. The Department of Education announced a temporary nation-wide freeze on key federal education funds, including Title IV. Title IV funds directly support student enrichment and after-school programs across the country.
In our district, the most immediate impact is to the CLC/A-List After School Adventure Program, which is fully funded through Title IV. The CLC/A-List After School Adventure Program provides safe, engaging, and supportive after-school opportunities for many of our students and families.
We have not made any decisions about changes to the CLC/A-List After School Adventure Program, but we have been advised to plan for the reality that the federal funds that support it may not be released in time for the upcoming school year. We are actively exploring local options to support families who have come to rely on this program and will do everything we can to minimize disruption, should the funds not be released.
When we have more information, we will share it with you. Thank you for your continued support and for being a vital part of our school community.
Sincerely,
Rich Polkinghorn
