[quote=Anonymous]We are at a Title I elementary that is trying to improve the afterschool activities by adding more enrichment classes (classe that would be open to both aftercare kids and non-aftercare kids). Right now we have a few activities that are essentially free for our school (eg subsidized Girls on the Run). But the school is gentrifying and there's a lot of interest in more classes that would not be free--eg MadScience and BricksforKidz. The dilemma is how to make these classes available to any kid who wants to take them. How does your school handle it? Does the PTA subsidize a few slots in each class for low income kids; if so, how do they select the kids (by who signs up first)? Does the PTA use a sliding scale? Any advice would be much appreciated. I checked out Springboard's aftercare program at some schools and saw that they offer enrichment classes for an additional cost. I wondered if they're only for families who can afford them. [/quote]
