Editor's Notes
- TXPOST was established in 2011 as a statewide nonprofit under 501c3 fiscal sponsorship of United Ways of Texas. As one of 50 statewide afterschool networks supported by the C.S. Mott Foundation, we work in three key areas to increase the quality and availability of out of school time programs in our state - partnerships, advocacy and quality. We form partnerships with providers, researchers, state agency representatives, businesses and other key stakeholders. We strive to be a resource and convener for our partners. TXPOST also works to advocate for the field of OST. During the 2013 legislative session, TXPOST successfully worked to pass legislation creating the Expanded Learning Opportunities Council. During the 2015 session, TXPOST supported state funding which – though unsuccessful would have created a competitive grant program to support high quality afterschool, summer and expanded learning programs. We are tweaking our strategy and approach for 2017, as we continue to advocate in other areas- Child Care Development Funds for school-age youth, licensing of child care programs, access to summer/afterschool meals, etc. There is an advocacy toolkit and other resources available on our website. Our initial work on quality was the development and publication of the TX Standards of High Quality Afterschool, Summer and Expanded Learning Programs, published December 2014. We are in the process of developing a self-assessment tool and working with funders and governmental agencies to implement the standards.
