Hi, my name is [YOUR NAME], a parent at [SCHOOL NAME] in ZIP [YOUR ZIP]. I'm calling because DYCD is moving six-year afterschool contracts forward without a school-by-school transition plan. Before contracts start this fall, we are asking the office to (1) publicly demand DYCD release the full scoring and crosswalk, (2) require written transition plans before any contract is registered, and (3) hold a public hearing on workforce and disability-access impact. Can I get a written response on these three points?
I'm a NYC parent at [SCHOOL]. Please publicly demand DYCD release the scoring + crosswalk and require written transition plans BEFORE any afterschool contract is registered. Reply in writing. — Save Afterschool NYC
