Ventura Unified School District is applying for the After School Safety and Enrichment for Teens (ASSETs) grant for Buena, Pacific, and Ventura High Schools. The ASSETs program has commonalities at all high schools and unique features to meet the needs of the students at each site. ASSETs grants provide students in grades 9-12 with academic enrichment opportunities, activities designed to complement students' regular academic program, college and career readiness, literacy and leadership opportunities, and a safe environment for participating students. If awarded at each campus, the grant funds would be used from August 2024 to June 2029.
