Additional Backup Information:
The City and AISD entered into a Cooperative Agreement in 2005 to collaborate together on an educational program known as the GO PROJECT. This is a community-based transition program for students with disabilities who are 18-22 years of age, enabling them to move beyond the high school setting and finish their education in a college or work environment. As the current agreement is almost 20 years old and renews automatically, the Parks and Recreation Department wants to update this project with a new agreement that reflects current needs.
