Title I funding is <br />sometimes available to pay for transportation for students receiving tutoring. <br />Although the programs differ in scheduling and style, there appears to be an after <br />school program for students experiencing difficulty in every CHCCS elementary school. <br />Some programs are run by Community in Schools, with parent fees and scholarships available <br />for students who can not afford to pay the fee. All Stars, part of the District's 21St <br />Century schools grant, provides funding. One school runs 3 four -week programs, one in the <br />fall, one in winter, and one before the EOGs. Another offers three sessions. Some are <br />staffed by teachers from the school.
