Summary
Tony Knapp, who oversees the district Extended Day Program, told the board the program serves an estimated 89 students across two sites, outlined hours and services, and invited board members to visit and discuss staffing, safety and communication improvements.
Tony Knapp, an Extended Day Program (EDP) director, addressed the board during public participation to describe the program’s history, operations and needs. He told the board EDP serves an estimated 89 students across two sites (42 at Sedalia and 47 at Glendening) and that the program is important to working parents.
Why it matters: The EDP provides before- and after-school care that supports families and helps ensure student supervision and activities beyond the school day. Knapp emphasized staffing, communication and safety protocols as areas for improvement and invited board members to tour operations during program hours.
What Knapp said: “EDP is a vital service to working parents,” Knapp told the board, and offered to bring letters of support from families. He described the program’s nearly 30-year history, current site coordinators and a mix of full- and part-time students. He asked the board to consider ways to strengthen staffing and communication.
Board response: Board members thanked Knapp for the presentation and several invited visits to observe operations. No formal action was taken at the meeting; Knapp’s presentation was entered into the record and the board expressed appreciation for staff who run the program.
Next steps: Knapp invited board members to visit the sites during operating hours to observe and discuss improvements to staffing, communication and safety procedures.
