New York City's children deserve full support from the government to provide them with quality education and after-school programs. The Mayor's executive budget, which was presented at the beginning of the month, will slash after-school programs by 50%. This means that almost 27,000 fewer children will be served. The effects of these budgets cuts, if they are finalized at the end of June, will devastate many after-school programs throughout New York City.
