[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyway I looked at the Springboard web site --looks like a possibility, so thanks to that poster! [/quote]

It's doubtful that Springboard will work out.  My understanding is that they're deliberately limiting their growth in the DC area to maintain quality, and only accepted 2 new schools this year.  (And I do mean "accepted."  I hear that it was as much an interview of the schools by Springboard as it was an interview of Springboard by the schools.)

It also looks like DCPS only has 2 "official" outside providers--Springboard and Innis--though I'm not really sure what that means.  Perhaps that's just who they'll allow to use DCPS facilities?  Or maybe it's something else altogether?  (It seems like DCPS could ease up on that restriction, given their late notice.  But don't count on it.)

Either way, be sure to check that factor out also if you're planning for the new aftercare provider to be linked to your school in any way.

Good luck, OP.  It can't be easy.
