Think Together thanks board after winning Paramount Unified after‑school contract
Summary
Think Togetherpraised the district after being awarded the after‑school services contract, promising academic enrichment, arts and sports programs and supervision through 6 p.m. to support student safety and enrollment retention.
Eddie Garcia, general manager of the nonprofit Think Together, used public comment time to thank the Paramount Unified School District board for awarding his organization the districtcontract to provide after‑school programs.
"Weare truly honored and humbled by the opportunity to work with the district," Garcia said, outlining plans for academic enrichment, arts and physical fitness, sports programs and homework support. He said the programs help keep students at their home schools and provide supervision until 6 p.m., noting those elements support both safety and enrollment.
Garcia thanked district staff by name for their role in implementing expanded learning opportunities and invited board members to visit program activities at school sites.
The comment came during the board's public comment period; no formal action on the contract was taken at the hearing itself.
