It’s hosted at King Arts and all elementary schools except Washington.“We are so grateful we can save this program and continue to provide an affordable after school option to hundreds of working families in District 65. We absolutely love our students and are so glad we will be able to continue to help them learn and grow,” EACCP President Natalie Copper said in the press release. A joint statement from EACCP and District 65 school board President Nichole Pinkard said that the preservation of the program also included an extension of the current EACCP collective bargaining agreement for an additional three years. The agreement will be presented to the school board for a vote Monday.Sweeping budget cuts proposed by the Evanston/Skokie School District 65 administration at the Oct. 13 board meeting originally included the closure of Lincolnwood and Dewey elementary schools and the elimination of the School Age Child Care program, a before- and after-school program that many working parents say they rely on. The district’s original plan said that cutting SACC would save the district $400,000 a year.“We want to extend a special, heartfelt thank you to all the parents and community members who shared their stories, stood alongside us as we pushed to save SACC and who continue to support us today,” Copper said in the IEA press release. “We could not have done this without you. Thank you, thank you!”This story is breaking and will be updated as more information becomes available.
