Daycare proposal would create tiered pricing, staff discount and predictable revenue for Coquille SD 8
Summary
Amy May presented a plan to restructure district daycare pricing effective July 1 to stabilize predictable revenue, hire additional staff and extend services; she said full‑day families would not see a price increase and staff would pay $10 per month for a slot.
Amy May presented the district's daycare proposal, explaining that predictable pricing tiers would allow the district to hire additional staff and expand services to better serve families through sixth grade.
May told the board the daycare currently serves about "20 ish" full‑time children during the school year and carries a summer waitlist of roughly 30. She said the new model would keep prices steady for families already using full‑day care, offer a $10‑per‑month slot for staff, and create pricing tiers for other families.
Board members raised affordability concerns (one board member cited a hypothetical $1,700 annual cost for two children) and asked for the underlying enrollment and cost assumptions. May said she has detailed family‑level data and that program changes unlock predictable revenue that "would allow us to hire additional staff." She requested board approval to implement the new pricing tiers effective July 1 so staff can plan staffing and program hours.
