ORGANIZATION TYPE Grant <br />2005-06 Grant <br />2006-07 Grant <br />2007-08 REQUEST <br />2008-09 RECOMM. <br />2008-09 <br />McKinley Elementary Scfrool <br />Pro~,ram Statements: McKinley Elementary School currently offers ESL classes <br />Special <br />NA <br />NA <br />NA <br />$5,000 <br />$0 <br />through the San Leandro Adult School. The Community Based English <br />Tutoring program is funded by the State, through funds provided from Prop. Programs <br />227. The purpose of the program is to provide free adult English instruction to <br />parents or other community members who pledge to provide English tutoring to <br />school children with limited English proficiency. In order to provide a better <br />program we want to purchase computers to assist our students in accessing <br />software for learning English literacy skills. These computers would also be <br />used with our student population of 500 to learn keyboarding skills, as well as <br />assist in academic instruction and Internet research. McKinley is the only <br />school in San Leandro that does not have computer technology available to its <br />students. <br />FY 2008-09 Funding Note: Funding is not recommended for the following <br />reasons: <br />• Program does not offer broad community benefit. <br />• Proposed program is outside the scope of the cultural arts guidelines. <br />• Concern that the program cannot be completed within one year as <br />required by the grant. <br />• Committee felt that there are more appropriate sources of funding for <br />computers in the schools. <br />
