District daycare posts December profit; officials question continued participation in STARS program
Summary
Burlington Public Schools reported the district-run daycare made a profit in December and was found compliant in a DHS visit. Superintendent Gerrett Spears said the STARS program requires substantial work and currently yields no grant funding, so the district may discontinue participation.
Superintendent Gerrett Spears told the board the district daycare made a profit in December and that two DHS visits—one for STARS and one for compliance—found no violations.
Spears said the STARS program "is a lot of work to maintain and currently nets zero dollars in grants, so the center may not participate in the program any longer." The board did not take formal action on STARS during the meeting.
The transcript records compliance findings but does not provide detailed financial statements for the daycare or a final decision about STARS participation. Any change to participation would require administrative follow-up and likely board notification.
