D.C'd process for applying for Nita M. Lowey 21st Century Community Learning Centers grants didn’t happen this year, forcing some groups to scale back the number of students they serve.

in June recommended that OSSE improve the way data is shared, refine how it assesses students’ progress and invest in professional development for staff, among other changes.Officials at OSSE said they are redesigning the program with those recommendations in mind. They also plan to switch from a three-year cycle to a five-year funding model, something leaders said will allow the youth organizations to better plan activities for students and provide more time to document their progress.

OSSE has emphasized that organizations must compete for 21st CCLC funds. There is no guarantee of renewals.
