Brooklyn parents upset over loss in funding for free after-school programs
Briefly

"This program's going about $3,500 to $4,000 per child. If somebody has three children in the school for after school, you're talking about over $10,000."
"Bewilderingly enough, you know, the state can't even tell us which other providers are getting that funding instead. In the past, there were two separate after-school grant programs that have been consolidated into one new grant program."
"Principals are frantically trying to figure out what they're going to do for their students. Parents are calling us really, really concerned."
"We know of at least 1,300 students impacted across 10 schools in Brooklyn and one in Queens, although the state disputes these numbers."
