Introduction
As one of California voters' largest commitment of funding to children,
Proposition 49 is an important bellwether. If Proposition 49
fails to roll out successfully due to limited demand for dollars
or through an inability to show positive student outcomes, it
will be a setback not only for after school in California, but
for the entire children's policy agenda. With the implementation
of Proposition 49 approaching, this report aims to identify and
address inequities and inefficiencies in the state's current
after school programs before the new funds come into the system.
Through both structured telephone interviews and an Internet-based
survey, Children Now collected information from after school administrators
about their experience with the ASES and 21st CCLC programs, their
thoughts about Proposition 49's likely impact, and the barriers
they have encountered in financing high-quality after school programs.
Respondents to the Internet-based survey included 141 after school
program administrators.
