The City of Richmond is authorizing the Chief Administrative Officer to execute an Outside Agency Contract with the Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Richmond. This contract will provide funding to expand life skills programming at Martin Luther King, Jr. Middle School. The funding comes from the Fiscal Year 2025-2026 General Fund Budget, with a total of $250,000.00 appropriated for this initiative. The Boys & Girls Clubs were selected through a comprehensive solicitation process and will implement programs focused on student development, including conflict resolution, time management, and academic planning.
