Currently in the 2nd year of a 3-year grant
cycle
Current model: using District employed
staff to run programs
Used mainly as an intervention program for
students performing below or far below basic
on State exams
z 1-3 teachers involved at each site with
instructional aides coordinating most of the
program
This grant has been rolled over, and the same
rules now apply to our Middle School after school
programs and to our elementary school programs.
z Middle schools need 100 students enrolled

Current Facility houses subsidized childcare
z
Some families have expressed a want for
unsubsidized (full pay) care.
z
It is possible to sub-divide the current facility into
two separate, fully staffed and licensed spaces.
z
DSFRC requires approximately 25 children enrolled
full time to recover their costs.
z
We are working on a plan to present the idea to the
community to see how many are interested in this
type of program.
