The purpose of the 21 st  CCLC Grant is to provide federal funds for eligible Title I schools to establish or expand
community learning centers that operate during out-of-school time hours with three specific purposes:  
1. Improve academic achievement in core academic subjects such as reading and math 
2. Offer students a broad array of additional services, programs, and STEAM focused activities that are
designed to reinforce and complement the regular academic program 
3. Offer families of students served by 21 st  CCLCs opportunities for active and meaningful engagement
in their children’s education  

If awarded, funding will be used to support eligible after-school and/or summer learning opportunities for
students and families served by Cherokee County Schools, consistent with grant requirements and the approved
project plan.
