Calculating the cost of afterschool – hot topic

Data is across the board on “per student” cost

Most cost of afterschool is staff

Get program budgets or talk to people who run large programs

3 kinds of staff – executive director, “lead teacher”, and others (admin., part-time, etc.)

What should it cost vs. what does it cost? - Political question; cost of quality program

Find someone with data/budget experience

Cost savings – we know the cost of juvenile justice, repeating a grade, etc; afterschool saves these costs
