As Stafford County prepares to send its public school students back to class virtually, county leaders must decide whether to use federal money to subsidize child daycare.
The Board of Supervisors tonight will hold a public hearing to discuss the allocation federal CARES Act funding, some $600,000 of which could go to the Massad Family YMCA which would provide daycare in its new virtual learning center at one of six locations in the area. For $113 per week, children who cannot attend classes in public schools will be allowed to come to the Massad Family YMCA on Butler Road, with a laptop in hand, to attend virtual classes.
Under the proposal, daycare for the children of county employees, including public safety personnel, would be fully subsidized. According to a discussion had today by supervisors, the YMCA initially advertised it would use county school buildings as daycare sites, but they later said the community center did an about-face and said it was not using the schools as daycare sites.
