Slanko approves Thrive to 5 agreement to resume child care at Coreyville Elementary
Summary
The board approved a space-use agreement allowing the Thrive to 5 early-childhood program to operate at Coreyville Elementary; the program will charge families $15 per day to cover custodial and utility costs and serves 3- and 4-year-olds.
At the Aug. 4 meeting the Slanko School District Board approved a space-use agreement enabling the Thrive to 5 early-childhood program to operate at Coreyville Elementary School for the coming year.
Board staff said the program had run at Coreyville in the prior year but paused around December because Thrive to 5 lacked sufficient staff; the organization has regained staffing and will resume. The district will charge Thrive to 5 $15 per day to recoup utilities and custodial costs. Staff confirmed the program serves 3- and 4-year-old children.
Why it matters: the agreement restores an early-childhood care option in a district facility and may affect families who need before- or after-care offerings for preschool-age children.
Details: board members moved and seconded approval by voice vote. A board member asked whether Thrive to 5 receives outside funding; staff replied that Thrive to 5 obtains special funding, though no funding sources or amounts were specified during the meeting.
Next steps: the program will resume operations at Coreyville Elementary with the stated fee to families and district custodial/utility cost recovery.
