Proposed New After School Legislation SB 1674

State Senator Tom Torlakson recently introduced Senate Bill 1674 (SB 1674) on the Senate floor. If passed this bill will expand opportunities for after school program staff to access the existing Paraprofessional Teacher Training Program; clarify that ASES grantees using supplemental grants may use grant funds to operate and track attendance and expenses on weekends in addition to inner session, summer, and vacation periods; set a minimum grant amount for small schools with 60 students or less with 2/3 of the students attending the after school program in order to ensure that small programs receive enough grant funding to employ the staff necessary to run the program; and ensure that subcontractors of ASES grantees receive a reasonable amount of administrative funds to administer after school programs.
