[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At our Title 1,  DCPS aftercare for the upcoming school year will only be free to low-income families. [/quote]

Right, I get that. But you won't pay $500 a month for it either. That is the cost for the outside provider.

NP. You don't know how much the PP will be paying. $500 is on the high side but not way out of line for an aftercare provider.

And I do think that DCPS free aftercare should only be offered to families that qualify for free/reduced meals. Other families should either have to pay for the DCPS one, or enroll in a private aftercare. Free aftercare shouldn't be to save some middle class parents money, it should be for helping those who couldn't afford it otherwise.[/quote]

Cool. But it should be be for [b]another group of parents to make that CHOICE for me.[/b]
Also- the provider they selected has a history of not wanting to take SN kids. Its an issue for me. You bet your ass. [/quote]

I suspect it's more the case of holding a vote and majority rules.  It would be chaos indeed if everyone designed their own aftercare program.

That said, there have been schools which in the past have offered both the free aftercare, and the pricier enrichment variety.  Looks like a great way to create a miniature caste-system at the ES level - everyone can tell who the "haves" and "have nots" are.[/quote]
