Official Text

That the Administration provide clear guidance for all departments providing after school or recreational services for youth, including but not limited to the Parks and Recreation Department, so that families unable to provide documentation for proof of income can self report, and additionally, that this be clearly listed in all application forms and that new staff be trained accordingly to avoid any confusion with staff members assisting families with enrollment that might deter families from enrolling who are unable to provide proof of income.
