BILL NUMBER: S4082

SPONSOR: BRISPORT
 
TITLE OF BILL:

An act to amend the executive law, in relation to increasing the per
student rate of empire state after school program grants

 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section 1 amends the executive law by adding a new section 501-i to
require that Empire State After School Program grants awarded on or
after August 1, 2023 be provided at a higher per student rate as deter-
mined by the Office of Children and Family Services and the Department
of Budget, provided that the per-student rate is not lower than $2,000.

Section 2 provides that this act shall take effect immediately.

 
JUSTIFICATION:

This legislation requires the Office of Children and Family Services and
the Division of Budget to align the per-student rate of "Empire State

After School Program" (ESAP) towards the true costs of programming. This
is a critical step towards contract and fund alignment with the Advan-
tage After School Program (AASP), which is the other main state funding
stream that supports afterschool programs in New York State.

There is currently a disparity between the $1,600 per-student rate of
the ESAP and the true costs of programs. True program costs range from
just under $3,000 in Buffalo to approximately $6,000 in New York City.
By raising the per-student rate to $2,000, this legislation will not
resolve the matter, but will lessen the disparity.

After school programs continue to have a difficult time both increasing
salaries and paying for supplies and activities. With the lack of direct
resources and support to strengthen the after school infrastructure,
these challenges have only been exacerbated during the COVID-19 pandem-
ic.

Because all current rounds of ESAP grants end after the 2021 72022
school year, the Office of Children and Family Services anticipates
releasing a Request for Proposals (RFP) for theilext round of applicants
in the fall or winter of 2021. It is critical to update the per student
rate for this funding stream prior to the release of that RFP.
