APPROVE A MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING WITH THE REDONDO BEACH UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT FOR THE USE OF ELEMENTARY SCHOOL CAMPUSES FOR THE CITY'S AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Community Services Department operates a daily After School Program for children ages 6-12 at all eight RBUSD elementary schools. Staff recommends the City Council approve a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Redondo Beach Unified School District (RBUSD) to allow the program to continue on school campuses through July 31, 2027 for a total annual cost to the City of $10,000. This amount is unchanged from the most recent agreement with RBUSD and is accounted for in the City's FY 2026-27 adopted budget.

The proposed MOU with RBUSD (attached) would allow the after-school program to continue operation through July 31, 2027.
