Operational Record
Continuity of funded slots is not necessarily continuity of children served.
In middle-school SONYC, one funded slot is not necessarily one unique child. Programs may serve far more individual students through à-la-carte models. This tracker documents the gap, site by site.
Official RFP per-participant rates
From DYCD's COMPASS / SONYC public RFP. These are the rates DYCD published — not campaign recommendations.
| Program | Fiscal year | Per-participant rate |
|---|---|---|
| COMPASS Elementary | FY27 | $4,800 |
| COMPASS Elementary | FY28 – FY32 (annual) | $6,800 |
| SONYC Middle School | FY27 – FY32 | $3,900 |

Advocacy-recommended rates (campaign position)
These are not the published DYCD rates. Coalition organizations and program operators have argued the real per-child cost of a credible afterschool program — including MSAL leagues, theater, debate, certified disability supports, and competitive staff retention — is meaningfully higher than the RFP rates above. Numbers will be added as operator budgets are released.

Verification in progress. This page is a structured intake for the operational record. Numbers here are reported by organizers and require documentary verification (attendance rosters, DYCD slot counts, Attachment 06 funding lines) before being treated as fact. Two procurement facts shape every row: the FY27 SONYC per-participant price is $3,900, and for multi-school competitions, applicants submitted a single budget narrative for the largest proposed slot count — not a per-school budget. So per-site numbers depend on the final workscope, not the proposal. We also want the actual RFP language on attendance requirements — irregular attendance may unintentionally penalize the families who most need afterschool.
