City of Rancho Cordova awards $146k in grants toward student success
part of its continued support of educational enrichment, resources, and programs for our students the Rancho Cordova City Council on Dec. 4 awarded nearly $146,000 in grants to benefit District students, including:
- After-school programs: The Council awarded $50,000 to help expand the District's After School Education and Safety (ASES) program at additional Rancho Cordova schools. The ASES Program allows schools to provide academic assistance, academic enrichment, and physical recreation for students.
- Student athletes: The Council awarded $95,800 in a multi-year Cordova High School football enhancement project. The second year of the agreement focuses on the continuation of a year-round lifestyle-focused strength and conditioning program, as well as replacement parts and uniforms, personal protective wear, field equipment, and team pre-game meals.
These projects and many more are funded from the city's Community Enhancement Fund, also known as Measure H, a ½ cent local sales tax measure that was approved by Rancho Cordova citizens in 2014.
