Afterschool Math Enrichment Programs (PRC 189)

PRC 188 & 189 - This grant is funded from ESSER III. Funds are obligated by September 30, 2024.

The Math Enrichment grant program will help fund high-quality, evidence-based in-person math enrichment, tutoring and interventions for students deemed “at-risk” or those the PSU identify as having been disproportionately impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic in grades 4-8. These academic-year programs will take place before school or after school and will respond to the academic, social, emotional, and mental health needs of students.

NEW Special Provision: “PSUs shall focus… instruction on Math, ELA, or science based on the needs and supporting data of the students participating in the program.”

These resources have been carefully reviewed and crafted to support each component of your Math Enrichment grant program and provide thoughtful guidance on how to best align with PRC 189 as well as support our students in their continued learning and enrichment journey. 

PRC 189 Afterschool Enrichment Programs Update

PRC 189 now incorporates grades K through 12 and can be used for supplemental in-person instruction to address learning loss as well as enrichment activities when the school day ends; these programs must occur during the academic year and NOT during the summer months. Potential program areas include:

Before/After school programs
Saturday Academies and/or
Out of School Time (OST) programs and partnerships

PSUs can reimburse themselves for any out of school time programs conducted during FY24 and paid for from another funding source (e.g PRC 181). Feel free to email our office for more information
