School Programs

The evidence for the kinds of programs required to meet children's health needs has been frequently and plainly demonstrated. The programs need to be multilayered, including welfare and educational aspects in addition to health components. All Western European countries have such sociomedical plans in operation. Not all are as well-organized or effective as they might be, but in the Netherlands and Scandinavia, they are awesomely complete and effective. Social measures augment and strengthen traditional health services. Preventive measures are undertaken across the board: nutrition enhancement in the schools; home visits for immunization of very young children; and after-school programs through the school system to provide care, supervision, and learning experiences.

Low Income Families

After school programs provide low income students and students of color with learning opportunities across both academic and non-academic domains that such students would otherwise not get. In this study, we examined the intersection of school characteristics (e.g., enrollment size, percent minority enrolled, and percent eligible for FARM) and the types of after school programming schools offered (e.g., fee-based, 21st CCLC, and other types) using binary logistic regression models. I n a sample of schools ( n = 1,601) surveyed by the National Center on Education Statistics 2008 FRSS, we found that under-resourced schools had lower odds of having a 21st CCLC program and higher odds of having a fee-based after school program (than schools with a lower percentage of students receiving FARM). That is counter to the stated goals of the 21st CCLC program. These findings highlight the need for a re-prioritization of 21st CCLC funding such that financial assistance provided to schools to support after school programs is allocated to schools serving students from low income families and communities.
