[quote=Anonymous]OP, my understanding is that the county was specifically looking for private aftercare programs who could match the county programs on price.

The county - run programs are quite cheap (I think it is $350/month for full before and aftercare) and very very few vendors can match that price.

My guess is it is some kind of 'equity" thing -- the county doesn't want to have awesome, but more expensive aftercare programs at some schools, and mediocre but cheap ones, at other schools.

What drives me crazy is that if there aren't 45 kids in need of aftercare at a school, the thought process is, "We guess there's no demand for aftercare at this school" and not "we guess there's no demand for the mediocre county-run aftercare program at this school."

If the after care program were to be better, chances are good more people would choose that program!

to a different PP -- yes, the schools do have a lot of buses and vans that come and transport kids to private aftercare centers off site.  These have no connection to the school district or county.
