The recommendations would expand district-wide out-of-school care through 6:00 p.m. and allow eligible families to use state vouchers. The subcommittee also supported offering a higher-cost opt-in option for caregivers, while further work is needed on staffing, special-education services, capacity, and start-up funding. For FY27, the level-service budget would increase 6.4%, compared with 5.5% in the Mayor’s budget and more than 14% in the strong budget; the level-service and Mayor’s budgets differ by $500,000.
