Funding Community Centers-Commissioner’s agenda
The director of the 21st CCLC program, Maryellen Earnhardt is scheduled to speak at the July 1st, 2008 Commissioners Meeting. Mrs. Earnhardt will be requesting the support of the Commissioners in placing a mill levy request onto the November 2008 Election Ballot.The mill levy could then sustain the Boulder 21st Century Community Learning Center’s 5 year program after the grant ends in June 2008, as well as fund additional programs in other community centers and schools throughout the county.
The 21st CCLC offers programs to enrich children and adults academically and economically within the community. With approval and passing of the mill levy ballot by the public it would support, the additional programs and resources would be available as long term solutions to reducing poverty within the community.
