DYCD publicly promised free, safe, and enriching programs — but did not provide school-specific continuity details.
DYCD says
- • Programs will remain free
- • Programming will be safe and enriching
- • Providers will create transition plans
- • Schools will work with incoming providers
- • Principal input was considered
Families still do not know
- • Which activities will continue
- • Which staff will remain
- • Whether those plans exist now
- • Whether sports, theater, and leagues are funded
- • Why preferences were overridden
