Advantage After School Program funding provided funding for up to three years for programs run by 4 agencies in Oneida County:
1. Catholic Charities of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Syracuse, NY 2006-07 $112,500; 2007-08 $112,500; 2008-09 $104,435.

Funding may be more limited this year than the allocation, which does not end until November for most of the programs, would indicate. We will need to contact the local programs directly for this information.

Current Policy summary of current policies in the form of legislation, programs, and funding

We have heard that there have been significant cutbacks to the funding that will be released this fiscal year, even though the funds were "allocated." Is there an intention to continue Advantage After School funding or funding for other after-school initiatives?
