Our current state of childcare is not okay. We can be doing better. m.rochestercitynewspaper.com/rochester/monr…

#Afterschool needs $219 million to ensure equitable access to high-quality programs. The current highest per student rate is woefully inadequate. Governor Kathy Hochul @CarlHeastie Sen. Stewart-Cousins #EmpowerYouthSuccess by adopting the base of $4,300 per student.

Advantage & Empire State afterschool programs follow very similar objectives and benchmarks. Governor Kathy Hochul @CarlHeastie Sen. Stewart-Cousins align and increase $$ to streamline NY’s #afterschool programs.

#Afterschool programs help students’ socio-emotional growth. Governor Kathy Hochul @CarlHeastie Sen. Stewart-Cousins Please dedicate 500K to statewide afterschool network to support technical assistance for afterschool.

NY's afterschool system is complex & complicated. Afterschool stakeholders can help the mitigate barriers to help increase afterschool access. Governor Kathy Hochul @CarlHeastie Sen. Stewart-Cousins, please establish an afterschool taskforce in this state's budget to engage stakeholders.
