21st Century Community Learning Centers

General Information

The focus of Kenosha’s CLC programs, re-authorized under Title IV, Part B, of the No Child Left Behind Act, is to provide expanded academic enrichment opportunities for children identified as being below grade level standards in reading and math. Teacher tutoring and academic enrichment activities are designed to help students meet local and state academic standards in subjects such as reading and math.
