On average, 86,000 students use the programs daily although the actual number of individuals who use the program throughout the year exceeds 100,000.

SURVEY RESULTS A survey was designed and sent to the key after school program stakeholders to ascertain their perceptions of how the program was operating. The respondents were asked to rank a series of statements such as follows: Please indicate your degree of agreement with the following statement. Disagree Disagree Agree SomewhatAgree No opinion Somewhat 1 2 3 4 Not included in All students who want/need after school Response programs have appropriate access to them. Average There were considerable differences in how the various stakeholders rated these statements. The differences may be a result of different expectations, some of which may be unrealistic given the: current legal requirements, financing available, and the organizational capacity of the system.
