Zellnor Myrie, a Democratic state senator from Brooklyn, is set to unveil a plan aimed at providing a universal after-school program for all public school students in New York City. This initiative would ensure that every student from preschool to high school has access to free after-school care until 6 p.m. It addresses a significant gap, with many children unable to participate in essential programs due to either lack of availability or high costs. The funding sources for this expansive program have yet to be detailed but may include savings from reduced local expenditures and tax revenue audits.

The proposal could drastically improve access to after-school programs for children in a district where tens of thousands face wait-lists due to a shortage of available spots.
