Students and educators at the after-school programs at PS 65 and IS 171 in Brooklyn, which include children from Queens, are fighting Mayor Bloomberg’s proposal to cut funding for them, and similar sites across the city.
Children and families from Cypress Hills Child Care Corporation and Cypress Hills Local Development Corporation are protesting the city’s plans, which could not be implemented before the City Council approves them, to cut 47,000 after-school and childcare slots. Program leaders said the programs are especially important for working families.
