Lack of Funds to Force Closing of District Child Care Program
Long Beach school district will end its child care program after December 23 due to exhausted funds. Arthur Knoll, the business manager, said the program has lost over 7600 since July 1 and cannot be replenished. To break even, rates would need a rise to 41 cents an hour, making it unaffordable versus private nurseries. The eight nursery schools and four extended day centers serve 429 children, with state funds and parental contributions backing a program designed for working parents.
