Budget cuts to AfterSchool of >50%, staff cut to 11 @ central office +3 coordinators for the entire system. Regardless of the testimony tomorrow, the numbers do not work and cannot provide quality programs. DC Council should take DCPS testimony UNDER OATH.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33215387.post-78237798108508460722015-04-10T21:14:12.610-04:002015-04-10T21:14:12.610-04:00Our updated blog is up!

We are still comparing their response to what we have seen in various budget documents, and what we're hearing from school partners. As this continues to evolve we will certainly keep you posted, so keep checking in for an update.<br /><br />All the best,<br />DCAYAAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09357635058712048264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33215387.post-9682796312451432162015-04-09T12:54:31.063-04:002015-04-09T12:54:31.063-04:00With the reduction in funding and people (institut...With the reduction in funding and people (institutional knowledge, community connections, partnership experience) how will the same level (and quality) of programming be maintained?

My school's program and coordinator are the best thing in DCPS. How will you provide services to all the children while firing 25 persons from this program? This is a nationally recognized program, listed in the top 10. Why kill the most successful and visibly effective program in DCPS. We need this for KIDS and Parents!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
