Mayor DATE: July 10, 2002 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council FROM: Library Director SUBJECT: RESOLUTION TO ACCEPT A $208,000 GRANT FROM THE CHILDREN AND FAMILIES FIRST COMMISSION OF SAN MATEO COUNTY TO FUND PROJECT READ'S LEARNING WHEELS PROJECT AND A $42,600 GRANT FROM THE PENINSULA COMMUNITY FOUNDATION TO FUND PROJECT READ'S COMPUTER LAB. RECOMMENDATIONS It is recommended that the City Council approve a resolution authorizing the acceptance of a grant in the amount of $208,000 from the Children and Families First Commission of San Mateo County to support Project Read's Learning Wheels project and a grant in the amount of $42,600 from the Peninsula Community Foundation to support Project Read's Computer Lab and amending the Library Department's operating budget for fiscal year 2002-2003. BACKGROUND The startup funding for the Learning Wheels project, Project Read's mobile literacy van, was secured from the statewide Proposition 10 tobacco tax funding from the California Children and Families Commission as an expansion of our California State Library-funded Families for Literacy program. The local Proposition 10 commission, the Children & Families First Commission of San Mateo County, has awarded us a two-year grant of $208,000 to continue Families for Literacy programming through mobile literacy van services targeted to serve "hard to reach" populations in Northern San Mateo County. The Learning Wheels van provides literacy services to Families for Literacy participants as well as to licensed childcare providers, unlicensed home day care sites, schools, and other agencies serving families and children. In addition, Learning Wheels distributes parenting and health information to residents of Daly City, Brisbane, San Bruno, South San Francisco, and Pacifica. Our partners in this project include our member Project Read cities (Brisbane, Daly City, Millbrae, Pacifica, San Bruno) as well as Institute for Human and Social Development Inc. (HeadStart), the Touchpoints Program and the South San Francisco Community Partnership. Learning Wheels is a registration site for MediCal and Healthy Families and works closely with Kaiser Permanente Medical Center and the North San Mateo County Health Services Agency to provide health and parenting information to members of the community. The van will be deployed to a variety of community sites, providing literacy services and programs such as preschool story times, literacy training for parents, and computer literacy training for families. Staff Report Subject: Learning Wheels an, Page 2 roject Read Computer Lab grant funo, -d The Project Read Computer Lab has been in operation for six years and provides vital services to Project Read learners. Project Read has provided a very successful Computer Learning Lab since 1997 at the West Orange Library. Over 75 adult literacy students and children with 1,100 hours of literacy tutoring participated in the lab last year. We requested a continuance of funding from the Peninsula Community Foundation to offer another year of service to Project Read learners and tutors. This $42,600 grant, called The Future is Now: Uxing Computers to Teach Literacy in the Year 2000, will support our innovative curriculum as well as offer new computer-linked writing strategies. The grant provides funds for Project Read staffto develop structured learning activities that teach students how to use the computer to meet real life needs, learn basic skills, navigate the Internet for research, and record samples of the learners' work. FUNDING: The fiscal impact of this request will not create any ongoing financial obligation for the City. The $208,000 grant to support the Learning Wheels project represents two years of grant funding. The California State Library and the California Children and Families Commission anticipate that this program will be supported on an ongoing basis through the application and receipt of money from the Children & Families First Commission of San Mateo County. The $42,600 grant from the Peninsula Community Foundation funds one year of Computer Lab services. Monies not spent by the end of fiscal year 02-03 will be carried over into fiscal year 03-04.
