  5. Philosophy • The After School Program provides a safe environment and is self-supporting. • ASP receives no support from taxpayer funds for its operation. • Daily fees provide funds for the salaries of the ASP employees, supplies, refreshments, utilities, and indirect operational costs.

  6. After School Program • Training for new ASP Directors, ASP Clerks, and ASP Bookkeepers is mandatory. • ASP Security Access form (FS-399) should be signed by the • Principal and faxed to Local School Accounting at (678) 594-8589 • authorizing security access to school’s ASP Director(s), ASP • Account Clerk, and ASP Bookkeeper. • Reminder: “ASP Software Training is scheduled Wednesday, July 16 for ASP Director/Clerks at Lewis Elementary. Training details have been emailed to the Elementary Principals and ASP Directors and ASP Clerks. A separate handout is available with this training information.

  8. Overview (continued) • The After School Program • Requires prepayment of a $7 daily fee for students staying in the program. • Charges a $10 per child District-wide non-refundable annual registration fee. • This registration fee follows the child if he/she is transferred to another Cobb County School District school within the same school year. • The registration fee is refundable if the student does not attend ASP during the school year.

  11. Fiscal Responsibility • Employee Discounts: If the ASP can sustain the cost, the Principal has the discretion to charge a discounted daily rate to their school staff who utilize the school’s ASP. • Financial Assistance form (FS-396) must be completed and signed by Principal for all students who receive a discounted daily rate. • The school Principal is responsible for staying within their ASP budget; specifically, sufficient revenues should be available to cover all expenditures.

  12. Fiscal Responsibility (continued) • It is possible for some After School Programs to lose money. Some common reasons are: • Allowing children of staff to stay for free or at a very reduced cost when the ASP cannot sustain the cost • Overstaffing • Excessive Overtime • Enrichment instruction when an ASP cannot afford it • Schools need to be proactive and develop a specific financial plan to resolve their After School Program fund balance deficit. • Local School Accounting is available to assist the schools in this task.

  13. Fiscal Responsibility (continued) • Suggestions to remain within school’s ASP Financial Budget • Reduce Personnel Costs • Overstaffing - Schedule using suggested teacher to student ratio – 1 teacher to 15-20 students • Employee Discounts - Reduce or eliminate employee discounts until ASP can sustain the costs.

  16. Fiscal Responsibility- Enrichment Activities • Enrichment Instruction • Enrichment activities may be provided to offer additional opportunities to students if the program has sufficient fund balance. • The School Principal and ASP Director should first consider the financial impact on the ASP financial condition. • If an ASP has a negative fund balance, ASP enrichment is not allowed! • An Enrichment Instructor must hold a bachelor’s degree required by Human Resources.
