[quote=Anonymous]The PPs are correct that Bridges is applying for a childcare license so that families eligible for FARMs will be able to apply for vouchers from OSSE to use for Springboard aftercare. It's also true that Bridges has a higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students than many other schools, as PP said, so families paying full price have been paying a bit more. The notion that "kickbacks" are involved strikes me as bizarre and unfairly suggests that there is something unethical going on. My experience with the administration is that they are absolutely ethical and committed to meeting the needs of every family at the school, and that they have been working with Springboard over the past year to reduce the cost of aftercare. The cost has already gone down compared to last year, and should go down even more after the childcare license is in place. If you have questions, I suggest you ask the school directly, and, as always, take what you read on an anonymous message board with a grain of salt. [/quote]
