Further, the city budget included approval of Public, Educational and Access Channels funds for capital expenditure for Channel 22 from the city’s Telecommunications and Regulatory Affairs Office.
The city council approved expenditures including:
- $1.28 million to continue funding AISD’s full-time parent support specialists at 60 campuses, who work to enhance relationships between families and school communities, encourage parent involvement in their students’ education and help educate parents on school services and programs;
- $950,000 to maintain social support services at AISD campuses for after-school programs at 20 campuses;
- $460,000 for AISD’s Cable Channel 22 from the city’s Public, Educational and Government capital funding, which is drawn from cable fees to support public affairs and educational programming;
- $106,000 dedicated to fund five AISD Family Resource Centers as a part of a social service contract with health and human services; and
- $211,125 to continue the city’s Victory Tutorial program, in partnership with AISD, which provides tutoring at public libraries to students after school.
The city council first voted to support AISD’s community education programs as part of its 2014-15 budget.
