[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  We are looking at Arlington elemetary schools. We are casting a wide net so don't have a specific school in mind to ask about.  I still can't figure out if each school contracts out for aftercare (so the school makes the decision) or the county provides it for all schools.  And are there outside providers that pick up kids for programs (music, art, dance)? Aftercare at our NW school is bad. We don't need fantastic aftercare options, just one with competent staff that actually watch the kids.  Enrichment would be a huge plus! [/quote]
The quality of care is really inconsistent.  A couple of years ago a kid got bit in the face by a dog at aftercare, to the point they needed multiple stitches, and the staff didn't know until the injured kid's parent showed up and couldn't find their kid.  They were in the bathroom dealing with the blood. All the kids knew.  The staff had no idea what was going on.  [/quote]

This is worrisome.  Does the county, school system, or school take responsibility for oversight?[/quote]
