Superintendent Drew Patrick has committed to evaluating the feasibility of the program for the 2025/6 school year, including a go/no-go decision in the fall.
We requested that there is engagement from the community in the decision-making process.
Thank you to everyone who signed the petition.
Full response from Dr. Patrick below:

Good morning, and thank you for taking the time to call and discuss this today Sabrina. As we discussed, you have my commitment to thoroughly explore the feasibility of a before- and after-school care solution for families in the District. While it would be premature to promise we will engage in such a program, I can promise a "go/no go" decision about feasibility by the end of this Fall. This would allow ample time to structure and complete an implementation plan for September, 2025, if we determine such an offering is feasible. Thank you for your dedication to this effort, and for identifying in concrete terms a minimum level of interest in such an offering.
With gratitude,
Drew
