[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yu Ying & Mundo verde posters who qualified for reduced rate that are not FARMS: what do you have to make to qualify?[/quote]
YY reduced rate family: for a family of 4, the cutoff is $59k/year (for a family of 5, it's 69k; for a family of 3 it's $48k, going up & down @ basically $10k per person added/subtracted from  each family).[/quote]
Thanks for posting this.

So a family of four, two kids, both parents work full time, with a HHI of $70K/year is expected to pay over $400/mo per kid for aftercare. 
Clearly this shuts out many families from schools like YY and MV.[/quote]

Let's look at it a different way.  Who, instead of you, should be paying for the after care?  Is it a government obligation to pay for care for children from 3:30-6 on weekdays?  It's a valid question, I would assume that many European countries do that, or something like it.  And DCPS subsidizes aftercare, from tax dollars.  So maybe the real issue is why aren't the charters receiving the same payments DCPS gets for it's aftercare programs?  Does anyone know the pot of funds that pay for DCPS' programs?[/quote]
