Governor Brown released the May Budget Revision on Friday, May 13, 2016. The proposed budget does not include any additional allocation to California’s struggling After School Education and Safety (ASES) programs despite strong public support for publicly funded after school programs which demonstrate a significant return on investment. California’s ASES programs are currently at risk due to a decade of flat funding in the face of a rising consumer price index and personnel costs related to increased minimum wage. A recent survey outlines that 92% of ASES programs are negatively impacted by flat funding and 1 in 3 are likely to close within two years without fiscal relief.  Learn more about the challenges facing California’s ASES programs.
