Cleveland Elementary-After Care Costs

[Anonymous]

[quote=Anonymous]Cleveland is changing. There are a good number of wealthy inbound families (particularly in the dual language program) for whom a 5 dollar a day aftercare cost is nothing. Hopefully they have a sliding scale for the poorer families.[/quote]

"Wealthy" is a bit of an overstatement. Solidly middle class families who can afford $5 a day aftercare, yes, and mostly in ECE.

Our Title I EOTP DCPS also went from free for all to $82.50 a month, with the exception that TANF and Medicaid eligible families still have free aftercare. Seems fair to me- no complaints.

I live IB for Cleveland and my kid attends. Wealthy may be an overstatement by DC standards (since the top percentage of earners here make substantially more than the top percentage nationally), but by any other standard, there are wealthy families whose kids attend. Primarily in ECE, but not only.
