Agenda Item Summary:
|
|
It truly takes a collective collaborative to support the supervision and childcare needs of our families during this unprecedented time of COVID-19. Alexandria is extremely fortunate to have a supportive community that cares deeply about the youth that reside throughout our city. That support was never more evident than now, as multiple community partners have pivoted their work plan to support families through the offering of supervised care during the school day and afterschool hours. This ACPS Board Brief provides the latest updates regarding our Virtual PLUS+ Partners and the latest information with respect to the multiple areas of support provided to these partners by ACPS. |

Background:
|
|
To support Alexandria City Public Schools’ (ACPS) families during the COVID-19 pandemic, ACPS has been collaborating with multiple Virtual PLUS+ Partners in order to offer free school day and after school programs for identified most vulnerable school-aged students. In addition to serving ACPS’ identified most vulnerable students free of charge, several Virtual PLUS+ Partners are also providing school day child care support to families throughout the city with sliding income-based fees, scholarships and other fee adjustments. |
