On October 6th The School Board of Hillsborough County will be meeting to go over the issues on the agenda to come to an agreement in deciding whether they should move forward with certain issues or not. One issue of importance on the agenda is the story on the Memorandum Agreement between The School Board of Hillsborough County and The Derrick Brooks Charities Youth Program.
The Derrick Brooks Charities Youth Program, Inc. is a non-profit organization who strives to help kids succeed. It is a program that makes kids feel comfortable while acquiring the basic knowledge of everyday skills. The program focuses on skills dealing with development and prevention, employment and training, housing acquisition revitalization, family support and training, and economic development and advocacy. Surprisingly, the program has not asked for the school board to chip in for any costs. Instead, the program has decided that the program provider will be dealing with the payments, allowing kids to attend their programs free of charge. The following programs will be held at two Tampa area locations, Sanchez Resource Services Center and Lee Davis Neighborhood Service Center in Belmont Heights located in East Tampa starting as early as October 7, 2009 if the agreement is passed.
The following issue would be very newsworthy for The School Board of Hillsborough County to address to the public due to the influential impact it could have on many kids in the Tampa area. In this day and age it is hard to find support groups, and being that the program is beneficial and free of charge would definitely attract many parents to sign their kids up.
The news story could be posted in the paper and could include a picture of a support group interacting with one another at one of the locations where the program is held. The picture could illustrate kids from different parts of Tampa showing support and willingness to succeed, giving viewer’s an idea of what the program represents.
