“Children Are Our Most Precious Resource”

CLOVIS UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT (CUSD) ASES PROGRAM INFORMATION FOR THE 2018-19 SCHOOL YEAR
The CUSD ASES Program provides a complementary learning system; intentionally integrating out of school time with the instructional day to ensure success for all students. The after school program consists of three components: academic support, literacy, and enrichment. The program commences immediately upon the conclusion of the regular school day, and operates a minimum of 15 hours per week until 6:00 p.m. Students in the program receive a nutritious snack provided by CUSD Campus Catering. The ASES Program is an extension of the regular school day continuing to provide a safe environment both physically and emotionally which supports building positive relationships and is of no cost to participating families. Attendance is an essential component to the program and its funding.

Once every three years CUSD submits a grant application to receive ASES funding. The application contains two parts: Part I, the Program Plan which contains program data, demographic informationand program implementation; Part II, contains budget information and additional program data, submitted in January every three years. The funds are designed to provide a safe after school environment including classroom instruction, intervention activities and enrichment opportunities to reinforce academics for students. The ASES Renewal Grant Application was reviewed, completed and submitted to the California Department of Education (CDE). In March 2017, our Renewal Grant Application was reviewed and approved by CDE.

Funding for the ASES Grant is based on the percentage of Economically Disadvantaged (ED) students and Title I status of the schools. The purpose of the ASES Grant is for schools to provide a safe after school environment that fosters education and enrichment opportunities for students. The ASES program is discussed as an agenda item during parent advisory committee meetings, including, English Learners Advisory Committee (ELAC), School Site Council (SSC), School Advisory Committee (SAC), District Migrant Education Parent Advisory Committee (DMEPAC), Indian Education Program Parent Advisory Committee (IPAC), District Advisory Council (DAC) and District English Learners Advisory Committee (DELAC). One of the roles of the ASES Program Supervisor is to support schools inthe implementation of ASES.

During the 2017-18 school year, a total of 14 schools operated an ASES program. Seven elementary schools received the Proposition 49 ASES Grant from the CDE, five received funding through the District Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP), and two schools received Proposition 49 funding under the jurisdiction of Fresno County Superintendent of Schools (FCSS).

ASES Evaluation Report
Since ASES is funded through the state, California Department of Education (CDE) and Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP), it requires an annual evaluation and monitoring program. Information gathered is used to evaluate program effectiveness as well as plan for the following year.

In the Fall, each ASES School Site receives a completed Evaluation Report to share with stakeholders. The evaluation process provides the site with an opportunity to evaluate, review and reflect on their program from an internal point of view collaborating with all stakeholders. The ASES Survey provides valuable information from all stakeholders on critical issues concerning the ASES Program. The annual evaluation addresses quality indicators of an effective ASES Program. These include but are not limited to: participation rate, expenditures, staff development opportunities, parent participation, student achievement and recommendations for continued improvement. Based upon a comprehensive analysis of data, schools are asked to articulate effective components as well as recommend program modifications. Schools are committed to promoting excellence and high expectations for all students, striving to ensure the use of meaningful survey data in decision-making.
