District applies for 21st Century after‑school grant; consultant contract amended to prepare application
Summary
Rantoul administrators said the district submitted a 21st Century After School Grant application for 2025–26 K–5 programming in partnership with the Village of Rantoul; the district amended an existing contract with Jennifer Frerichs to write and submit the grant.
Dr. Woods told the board the district has submitted an application for the 21st Century After School Grant to fund K'5 programming beginning in 2025'26, to be provided at the Youth Center in partnership with the Village of Rantoul. The packet notes the current Explores program will not operate next year, and that the district contracted with Jennifer Frerichs, through an amendment to her existing contract, to write and submit the grant.
Board members acknowledged the change in after-school programming and thanked staff and community partners for work to secure funding. No vote was required on the application at the Dec. 18 meeting; the grant submission was reported as an information item.
