DSUSD receives funding for after school programs at seventeen schools within our district.

- All staff must meet the minimum requirements of a para- educator for our district.
- A healthy snack is provided each day.
- Funding is supported by State and Federal grants and services up to 84 students at each elementary site and up to 111 students at each middle school site. When fully implemented. The after school program will serve approximately 1500 students per day.
- Programs are a joint effort between schools, parents, community agencies and collaborative partners.
