Parents in Athens face a shortage of before and after school care as West Elementary lacks licensed options. Alloway urged Gibbs to reconsider eliminating the option or extend licensure changeover for providers. Gibbs hopes a group can craft an after school program, with space at West under discussion. Transportation constraints arise from strict state licensing and limited city resources.
