Board approves $1.23 million after‑school contract and OKs Girl Scouts program
Summary
Trustees approved a contract with the California Teaching Fellows Foundation for up to $1,229,825 for 2025–26 after‑school services, approved a shorter October contract (amount in transcript appears garbled), and approved a Girl Scouts after‑school enrichment contract not to exceed $41,844.
The Weaver Union School District board of trustees approved multiple after‑school program contracts at its Oct. 12 meeting, authorizing continued partnerships meant to expand instructional and enrichment services for district students.
Trustees approved a recommendation to contract with the California Teaching Fellows Foundation for the 2025–26 program year (July 1, 2025–June 30, 2026) for after‑school instructional and enrichment services, with the packet listing a “not to exceed” amount of $1,229,825. Staff said the program currently serves roughly 600 students across sites — Farmville (~275), Pioneer (~250–260) and Weaver (~88) — and that they employ roughly 53 Teaching Fellows plus several site leads to support behavior management and safety.
Staff also presented a short October session contract with the same foundation for Oct. 1–31, 2025. The amount in the transcript appears garbled as "67,2785"; the district packet or posted contract should be consulted for the correct figure.
In a separate action the board approved a contract with Girl Scouts out of Central California for Jan. 1–May 31, 2026, not to exceed $41,844, to provide after‑school enrichment at district sites funded through Expanded Learning Opportunities (ELO) programs. Staff described Girl Scouts activities (STEM, badges, regular sessions on minimum days) and noted parent information and sign‑ups are planned in the coming weeks.
During discussion, a program representative said the district maintains open enrollment (large enrollment drives in April) and continuous outreach to families via school communication channels. Trustees asked about how enrollment is managed and how program staff are hired; staff explained the district runs ASSETs as the primary provider and supplements capacity with Teaching Fellows, who supply additional staff quickly by recruiting college‑age workers.
The board approved the consent items and moved on to subsequent reports; official contract documents and posted minutes will provide the definitive contract amounts and terms.
