Rye Brook approves intermunicipal agreements with Blind Brook School District for after-school program
Summary
The board approved multi-year use agreements allowing the village to operate the school-aged after-school childcare program at the Blind Brook school, formalizing prior practice and reflecting modest fee increases for 2025–26.
The Rye Brook Board of Trustees on May 13 approved intermunicipal agreements with the Blind Brook School District that allow the village to continue operating the school-aged after-school childcare program at the Bruno Street (Bridal Street in backup materials) school for the 2024–25 and 2025–26 school years.
The agreements formalize arrangements the village already operates: the program runs each school day from 3:10 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., with additional coverage for conference and special days. Under the terms read into the record, the village will reimburse the district for one security monitor during program hours and will follow the license and fee schedule required for a state-licensed school-age childcare program.
Chris said the village started operating the program after the district approached the village to take over a program formerly run by another provider (the transcript references a YMCA-era arrangement). Trustees and staff described the program as a success and noted it is state-licensed. The board also discussed modest fee increases that were approved as part of the municipal budget process: two-day, three-day and full-week price changes were outlined in the meeting and will take effect for the upcoming school year.
Both agreements were approved unanimously; the board authorized the mayor and the village administrator to execute the IMAs, subject to counsel review.
