[quote=Anonymous]While the lack of oversight in the afterschool realm is a notorious problem (private or public, here or elsewhere), what you describe is no longer the norm in DC. See something, say something! It's a good time to act and make a crucial difference. For better and for worse, the (public) DCPS afterschool program has been squeezed really hard with fewer resources working many more sites and hours. But they also had all coordinators reapply for their jobs last year and their applications took performance and parent satisfaction into account. If you're seeing this at a Title I school, where there is a public DCPS afterschool care, ask for that school's afterschool (also called out-of-school time) coordinator (she/he may be on site or at a nearby site) and flag what you witnessed. Their names and contact information can be found in the PDF at the bottom of this page: http://dc.gov/DCPS/Beyond+the+Classroom/Afterschool+Programs. If you can't get through, then the principal is who you need to address.
Now, if this is an incident at a non Title I school, without a public afterschool program (such as Eaton), the principal is the person you should address. Besides flagging what you see, ask them to give you the contact information of the non or for-profit who operates the afterschool program. It also never hurts to locate someone at DCPS's Out-of-School-Time office and flag it there as well.
