Talking about Team Up

From Jill Johnson, the districts director of communications

This is a really great question. Team Up funding comes from a variety of sources:

The 21st Century Learning Grants that were referred to as "pass through" funding are federal grants. JCC writes and manages the grants on our behalf. This constitutes $1,916,289 of the Team Up funding provided through the Children's Commission.

Duval County provides roughly $300,000 in SAI funding to JCC to support Team Up. This would be funding the district could use elsewhere, as Mr. Gentry stated.

The Children's Commission and the Jacksonville Journey (all COJ dollars) contribute approximately $3,500,000 to Team Up, as this is one of their priority programs/populations.

Altogether, the Team Up program sponsored by JCC in DCPS sites costs roughly $5,700,000. Approximately a third of the funding comes from pass-through 21st Century Learning Grants.

I hope this helps. Let me know if you need any additional information.
