9.C.8) Create public-private partnerships to provide resources for out-of-school programs

Partnering with private funders, businesses, and private institutions can dramatically increase the resources available to out-of-school programs. Not only is this an important way for programs to access new revenue sources, it also increases young people’s access to public health, artistic or cultural institutions, workforce training, and other disciplines. The state agencies primarily involved in out of school programs, the Department of Early Education and Care and the Department of Education, should take the lead in developing and fostering these programs. Additionally, legislative language should be strengthened to require schools and organizations to collaborate when planning new after-school programs.

The Departments of Education and Early Education and Care should work to identify potential partners for out of school time providers, and to support existing partnerships. 

8.a    The Legislature should form a commission to study changing Chapter 70 language to make it easier for schools to collaborate with community-based after school programs
