The policy has been changed to include more centers <br /> across the state being eligible to participate in the program. <br /> Marti Pryor-Cook stated that currently there are 290 children <br /> receiving daycare subsidy. Forty will be entering kindergarden reducing <br /> the figure to 250. There are 367 on the waiting list for daycare. The <br /> County is mandated to subsidize those children covered by protective <br /> services. <br /> Chair Marshall expressed a concern of subsidizing some children 100% <br /> when there are other children on the waiting list who are just as <br /> qualified but for which funds are not available. <br /> Discussion ensued on how best to fund daycare and maintain some equity <br /> in subsidizing those who are qualified. <br />
