Department of Education. The overall goal of Lottery for Education: Afterschool Programs LEAPs is to provide Tennessee students with academic enrichment opportunities that reinforce and complement the regular academic program. In November , Tennesseans voted to create a state lottery. The General Assembly established that profits from the lottery go toward specific educational programs: college scholarships, early childhood programs and afterschool programs.
As provided under TCA , percent of monies constituting an unclaimed prize shall be deposited into an afterschool account for the purpose of administering a system of competitive grants and technical assistance for eligible organizations providing afterschool educational programs within Tennessee. Public and Not-for-Profit Organizations that provide, or propose to provide, afterschool educational programs within Tennessee may apply for these funds. Organizations that have not previously received grants from — or provided contractual services on behalf of — the State of Tennessee will be required to verify their ability to administer grant programs before being considered for funding.
However, preference shall be given to programs that maintain an enrollment of children of which at least 80 percent of the students enrolled meet one of the criteria above.
Programs established must be designed to reinforce and complement the regular academic program of participating students. All activities must be educationally based. Such programs must include:. The centers also offer a broad array of additional services, programs, and activities in such areas as the following: youth development activities; service learning, nutrition and health education; drug and violence prevention; counseling; arts, music, physical fitness and wellness education; technology education; financial literacy; environmental literacy; and mathematics, science, career and technical programs.
The centers also provide internship or apprenticeship programs and other ties to an in-demand industry sector or occupation for high school students that are designed to reinforce and complement the regular academic program of participating students and their adult family members when school is not in session. According to the legislation, the 21st Century Community Learning Centers Program is intended to: 1 assist students to meet the challenging state academic standards by providing them with academic enrichment; 2 offer a broad array of activities during non-school hours or periods when school is not in session such as before and after school or during summer recess ; and 3 offer families of students served by the centers the opportunity for active and meaningful engagement in their children's education that includes literacy programs.
Out-of-school-time programs should reflect a commitment to promoting knowledge, skills and understanding through enriching, hands-on, creative learning opportunities that do not extend, but complement the school day.
The core services fit into four main categories:. Academic Enrichment: Remedial education activities that provide additional assistance to students to allow them to improve their academic achievement. Select a School Select a School.
