6 Million Will Provide Funding for 2025-26 and 2026-27 School Years (HARTFORD, CT) – Governor Ned Lamont and Education Commissioner Charlene M. Russell-Tucker today announced $5.
3 million in state funding through the Connecticut State Department of Education’s After-School Grant Program to support 41 grants across 30 municipalities for expanding high-quality, after-school programs that provide academic supports and enrichment opportunities beyond the school day. “Setting our students on a path to success often requires providing extra support beyond the school day,” Governor Lamont said .
“High-quality after-school programs create opportunities for students to receive the additional academic and social supports they need to thrive.
” “After-school programs play a vital role in connecting students, families, and communities by providing meaningful engagement and improving academic achievement, school attendance, and student behavior, while also offering safe, enriching environments for students beyond the traditional school day,” Commissioner Russell-Tucker said .
“These programs offer a wide range of enrichment activities to complement students’ classroom instruction, including tutoring, mentoring, academic enrichment in science and technology, community service opportunities, and activities in music, arts, athletics, health, and culture. These programs also benefit working families by offering a safe, structured environment for children during non-school hours.
