Bancroft-Rosalie receives continuation grant for after-school program. $50,000 per year for five years

The Nebraska State Board of Education approved the Bancroft-Rosalie School renewal application for the 21st Century Community Learning Center grant at their April 2nd meeting.  Congratulations!

The grant will provide $50,000 per year for the next five years to support the DEN after-school program.

Nebraska’s 21st CCLC grant program creates an afterschool environment focused on improving overall student academic success, increasing positive behavior and social interaction, and increasing active and meaningful family and community engagement. Currently there are programs in 35 communities serving 150 school building populations. Continuation grants are being awarded to 11 quality programs that have successfully implemented 21st CCLC programming in 22 sites. Bancroft-Rosalie School is one of these programs receiving a continuation grant to serve the elementary and middle school students grades K-8.
