For its part, the school district got
creative with federal relief dollars. It
leveraged Elementary and Secondary
School Relief money, made possible
through the American Rescue Plan
Act (with state-level investments in
extended learning), to provide summer
learning experiences for students.
Best of all, the school district didn't
have to spend these funds alone and
could allocate funds to community
partners who also provided summer
educational experiences for kids.
As the school district evaluated
how it could spend its grant funds,
school district officials recognized
that the 1PASS offered education
and wellness for students and qualified
for these relief funds. Together
Willamalane and the school district
seized the opportunity, and every student
in the school district was eligible
to receive a 1PASS, paid in full by
Springfield Public Schools. This was
at no cost to families, eliminating the
biggest barrier to access this program.
Thanks to this collaboration, 3,477
students
received a 1PASS. And,
more Springfield kids than ever before
received a 1PASS. Across all destinations,
1PASSes were used more
than 24,000 times that summer.
The 1PASS wasn't the only collaboration
between Willamalane
and the school district that summer.
The organizations also teamed up
to offer scholarships to students
attending any Willamalane summer
camp; preschool; swim lesson;
youth sports camp; or science, technology,
engineering, math (STEM)
class. Again, this was at no cost to
families. Despite the uncertainty of
the pandemic and a reduced pool of
staff, Willamalane offered 31 different
qualifying camps and programs,
serving an additional 751 students.
Thanks to this partnership, thouPARK

sands of kids in Springfield had
low-barrier access to healthy resources.
With a successful pilot completed,
the school district will offer the same
scholarship opportunities to all incoming
and current students in the
summer of 2022.
