7.13 LATCHKEY PROGRAMS
|
|
The Board of Education is concerned about the growing number of children who are receiving insufficient care, nurture, or supervision when not attending school. This has serious implications for their general well-being as well as for their ability to benefit from the school program to the extent they need or want to.
The Board shall seek public input regarding the need for such a program.
Since these children constitute a significant and growing portion of the student population, the Board shall seek to provide appropriate programs and services for these students, particularly in grades K-6, through the use of District staff and facilities.
Any fee or tuition from the program is to be deposited in a special fund and no funds shall be expended for the program from the General Fund other than for:
A. Facilities, if currently used for other purposes;
B. Utilities furnished in conjunction with the program; or
C. Transportation by regular school buses. |
