Grant FundingGrantsDetected Jun 2, 2026

The assistant superintendent for curriculum and instruction reported that the district received a Summer Discovery Grant from United Way/Walmart to support summer programming. Summer School will be held at Auburn Elementary with Meet Up and Eat Up, Busy Bee childcare (required all summer by the grant), partnerships with Rooted In Hope – Oakland Partnership for 2nd and 3rd graders, a free cooking program by Chartwells, and Mr. Ballard’s IT program on cybersecurity and drone piloting.With 200 students registered and a capacity of 260, plus credit-forward and credit-recovery offerings at the secondary level, the district is actively expanding summer learning with grant and partner support. Vendors in curriculum, STEM/IT enrichment, after-school and summer platforms, transportation, and student services can see this as a signal that Avondale is investing in structured summer learning and may seek additional content, digital tools, or program management support—especially if they pursue similar grants in future years.

Credit recovery this year is not funded by 31a or ESSER; Oakland 80 partnership paying for first course for eligible students, suggesting future need for sustainable funding models.
