In addition, these plans afford the school <br /> an opportunity to have a building apart, with a program which in no way <br /> interferes with the other services in the Multi-purpose Center. <br /> The local fire and building inspectors have informed us that significant <br /> repairs are needed to bring the building up to current code standards for a <br /> federally-certified and licensed day care oeoter, In addition, the school <br /> would need six partitioned classrooms, storage space, a small office, kitchen <br /> space, five commodes, and four sinks. <br /> At most, the school would be able to assist in the painting of the , <br /> interior of the building and in providing new playground facilities directly <br /> adjacent to the building. <br /> An additional concern is the length of time CSPV6 would be able to occupy <br /> the cafeteria. ]f, at some time in the future, the Mental Health Center <br /> should receive funds to renovate the site for a day hospital, the C5PU6 would <br /> be faced with the need to find an alternate location. In the past we have <br /> approached other facilities in an effort to relocate our after school program <br /> (to create space for infants and toddlers) without success. The possibility <br /> of finding an alternate site for the entire program is extremely remote. <br /> Plan 1114�][ <br /> This plan proposes that the C8PUB occupy two of the current three rooms <br /> ( //6o square feet). This proposal assumes that current and projected cuts in <br /> Title XX monies would cause a reduction in the school's enrollment (20 <br /> children are now covered in part or in full by Title XX funds.) <br /> Impact on CSPU6: The families now receiving Title XX funds will continue to <br /> work or attend school, and to need day nure. Because the school has an - - <br /> open-ended sliding tuition scale, those families would pay a reduced fee based <br /> on family size and gross yearly ,ncnmn. The proposed reduction in space would <br /> mean the abolition of one or more parts of our program, most likely the two <br /> year old and after-school programs, currently serving a total of 29 children. <br /> Given the facts that: 1) there is a shortage of day care spaces for 2 year <br /> . olds; 2) there is currently only one other federally certified school-age <br /> program that operates full time during the summer months; 3) the Chapel Hill <br /> Recreation Department plans no summer programs for school-age children; and <br /> 4) there are long waiting lists for quality day care spaces, this loss of day <br /> care spaces would have serious impact on the availability of day care in our <br /> community. <br /> .g�.~. <br /> ur , <br /> /4^1/`-4 <br /> ` ' <br />
