THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN SCHOOLS DEPEND ON GRANT FUNDING. THAT STATEMENT FROM CARRIE ROBIN BRUNDER, APS DIRECTOR OF GOVERNMENT AFFAIRS AND POLICY, NOW THAT 10 MORE SCHOOLS ARE BEING DROPPED FROM K-3 PLUS, A SUMMER ENRICHMENT PROGRAM FOR KINDERGARTEN THROUGH 3RD GRADE STUDENTS.
THE ALBUQUERQUE JOURNAL REPORTS THIS IS IN ADDITION TO 10 SCHOOLS THAT WERE DROPPED FROM THE PROGRAM IN APRIL … TWO OF WHICH HADN’T EVEN STARTED THEIR K-3 PROGRAMS.
IT’S ALL DUE TO BUDGET CONSTRAINTS AT APS. BRUNDER SAYS THEY’S 40 PERCENT LESS FUNDING, SO THE DISTRICT CAN SERVE 40 PERCENT FEWER STUDENTS.
