DYCD rebid COMPASS / SONYC afterschool contracts. That alone is not unusual. What is unusual is the combination of six-year contracts, multiple school communities disrupted at once, longstanding providers displaced, parents excluded from actual provider selection, principal preferences apparently overridden, disability-access plans missing, workforce disruption unknown, and DYCD invoking equity / provider diversity without showing school-by-school evidence.
This is not just a vendor dispute. This is a public accountability issue.

- Provider-diversity rationale with evidence
- Full old-provider-to-new-provider crosswalk
