Atlanta panel signs off on after-school partners
An Atlanta City Council committee has approved resolutions authorizing the Georgia State University Research Foundation and the Boys and Girls Club of Metro Atlanta to continue providing children’s after-school and weekend programs.
The two entities “are our main primary after-school partners” at the city’s Centers of Hope recreational centers, Parks and Recreation Commissioner Amy Phuong told this week’s meeting of the Community Development/Human Resources Committee.
The committee signed off two special procurement agreements: One for one year and $440,000 with GSU, and the other for two years and $385,000 with the Boys and Girls Club. The resolutions are to be voted on Monday by the full Council.
Atlanta after-school programs offer cultural, academic and recreational opportunities for children ages 5-17, as well as adapted sports and therapeutic activities for special needs youngsters.
