A
second response was received from a parent who was concerned with the higher
cost for after school care at IHM. This parent then chose to distribute
information on the costs of other programs in the area to parents of children
in the IHM aftercare program. Ed has spoken to the parent responsible for this
and at this time costs of our program will remain as is. Ed will turn this
matter over to finance council.
