CITY OF DELRAY BEACH EDUCATION GRANT PRESENTATIONS
Body
Background:
The City of Delray Beach is committed to working with community stakeholders to improve educational opportunities for all students and families. The mission of the City of Delray Beach’s Education Division is to ensure equitable and accessible high-quality education opportunities for all Delray Beach students and residents. This includes fostering collaborative partnerships with the School District of Palm Beach County, Delray Beach Public Schools and School Leaders, Delray Beach families, and Delray Beach community-based agencies. The vision of the City of Delray Beach’s educational partners is a city where education, innovation, opportunity, and sustainability are accessible to all residents.
The 2023-2024 Delray Beach Public Schools Education Grant seeks to fund specific projects and activities related to the following high priority areas: grade-level proficiency, school safety, positive behavior interventions, mental and behavioral health, and workforce readiness. Recipients of the grant were responsible for planning and executing programs related to the priority areas at their school site and reporting outcomes to the City of Delray Beach.
The presentation will review the executed programs and expected outcomes from each Delray Beach recipient.
