Rochester School District Awarded $136k in State Funding for After School Programs
The Rochester City School District (RCSD) will receive $136,000 in state funding through the $10 million Empire State After School Program Award.
The funds will be provided through the Urban League of Rochester (Rochester, NY), which serves the RCSD, for after school programs. Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced the award money Wednesday.
“After-school programs help students stay on track and offer a positive and productive place for students to spend their after-school hours, giving parents peace of mind,” Gov. Cuomo said in a press release. “By increasing the availability of after-school program slots, we can guide even more students to find the right path to success.”
