On March 25 and April 22, 2025, the district signed Memorandum of Understandings with Improve Your Tomorrow, Inc. to operate programming in Adams Elementary, El Dorado Elementary School, Kennedy Elementary School, Victory Elementary School, Wilson Elementary School, and Marshall Elementary School for a total of $535,000 for one year.
In 2020, the district signed an agreement with Improve Your Tomorrow, Inc. which includes the use of “AmeriCorps Service Members” and leverages grant funding from California Volunteers, part of the Office of the Governor.
A 2019 job announcement for “academic mentor” shows the involvement of AmeriCorps in the program.
