A Message from the Regional Lead
Greetings,
It is my pleasure to introduce myself. I am Maria Magallanes, Regional Lead for After School Programs out of the Tulare County Office of Education. My primary responsibility is to provide technical assistance and support to state and federally funded after school programs. I will work diligently to facilitate communications between the region to mobilize quickly and effectively on policy matters to bring about new resources and opportunities for local after school programs, most notably, working with rural communities.
My goals for the region consist of the following:
- Provide multiple method training opportunities to after school programs, 21st Century Community Learning Centers, and After School Education and Safety Program grantees, community partners and other school and community interested stakeholders.
- Provide customized information and technical assistance in response to requests from After School Education and Safety Programs, 21st Century Community Learning Center grantees and other schools interested in learning support grants.
- Increase governmental, educational and community organizations awareness of the importance of effectively supporting after school initiatives.
- Facilitate effective communication between Region VII to mobilize quickly and effectively on policy matters to bring about new resources and opportunities for local after school programs.
