Describe how this project is cost effective and whether the budget is reasonable for the <br />anticipated result. If this project does not receive funding, what will be the effect on this <br />project? <br />The Black Excellence Program is a cost effective, equitable use of funds. Beyond the fact <br />that Pleasanton USD is offering use of its facilities and supporting the program through <br />extant staff, a year-long partnership between a local non-profit and PUSD to support Black <br />students is an innovative and culturally relevant way to address educational disparities that <br />affect Pleasanton children and their families. These are our children, and they don’t always <br />feel supported by the Pleasanton community as a whole. The Black Excellence Program <br />gives them a space to feel seen, heard, and unequivocally embraced by the adults around <br />them. We are bringing community members who embody "black excellence" to the students <br />and families, meeting them where they are. Typically, families and students in Pleasanton <br />have to go seek this expertise outside of their school and outside of the city. We are making <br />possibilities real for our families and communities by making these subject matter experts <br />accessible right here. <br />$7500 to $15000 is a reasonable sum to spend on facilitating the creation of a community <br />of families that will support each other while raising their children in the City of Pleasanton. <br />If this grant is not approved, PUSD will not have the budget to be able to continue this <br />program in the 2024-2025 school year, and we will not be able to implement it for <br />Pleasanton children. <br />If your agency received funding from the City of Pleasanton in the past five years, please <br />include project name, funding level and the year funding was received (enter N/A if not <br />applicable). <br />N/A <br />New Applicants only: Did you watch the Community Grant Application Workshop Video? <br /> Yes <br /> No <br />Please indicate your City of Pleasanton Business License No. <br />1022685 <br />Please confirm that you have uploaded the following in the &#8220;Documents&#8221; <br />tab: <br /> Current annual budget for the entire agency, including revenue <br /> Agency organization chart <br />Page 49 of 116
