Policy Update
(Afterschool Alliance) For friends of afterschool, the last week of March was a busy one in Washington, D.C., with both the House and the Senate holding education appropriations hearings and letters of support for 21st CCLC afterschool and summer learning programs. The FY2020 appropriations process is just getting started and still has a long road ahead, with time left for others to show their support for afterschool and summer learning. In the face of a proposed elimination of 21st CCL, the outpouring of support is encouraging to the afterschool field.
