Committee questions focus on enrollment, staffing and safety protocols for new programs

Committee members used the Q&A portions of both co‑sponsorship presentations to press for operational detail. Members asked whether reported daily attendance (12–15 children for the after‑school program) was sufficient justification for a full fee waiver and how the program ensures appropriate supervision across grades that span first through fifth grade. Presenters said they employ two paid staff and volunteers and described an approximate 1:5–1:6 staff‑to‑child ratio, and that older participants act as mentors for younger ones.
