Idea to send:	Topic After School Care for Special Education Students Content Oklahoma has many programs in place for younger children and parents regarding special education and related services. Where Oklahoma is lacking are programs for older special education students. Many elementary schools have latchkey (before and after school care) programs, but once students (especially special education students that cannot be left unattended) reach middle school age these programs are non-existant. In a two parent home, shift work can be arranged to accommidate this void. However, in a single parent home there are few options. There are many single female Oklahomans that fall into this group and many that do not qualify for any financial assistance. There is also a strong need for summer programs for this older (middle school - high school) special education student group.Please prayerfully consider either school funding or a tax break or stipend for parents with older special education students. Thank you.
