District expands after‑school and summer vendors to serve high school students and middle schools
Summary
Chester‑Upland added vendors to its after‑school and summer programs to serve high‑school and middle‑school students, including barber training at Chester High and new fine arts offerings at Edgemont Scholars Academy.
At the March 20 committee meeting, district staff said they are adding vendors to after‑school and summer programs to respond to higher‑than‑expected high‑school participation.
The after‑school director told the committee that vendors who initially responded to an RFP in the fall will be added to support high‑school programming for the remainder of the school year and the summer program. The Cat Center — an existing vendor — proposed additional sessions for high‑school students. Clippers LLC will deliver a barber program to Chester High School students. Macy Lago was listed to provide fine arts, modeling and graphic‑art design to middle‑school students at Edgemont Scholars Academy. Michelle Hill was listed to provide group dynamics and communication‑skills training at the Toby Farms program.
Staff said these vendor additions will finish out the current school year and also support the district’s summer offerings. The committee did not include vendor contract amounts or specific session schedules in the discussion excerpt.
