This handbook is designed to provide local school corporations with information about legislation enacted by the Indiana General Assembly in 1991 that requires each corporation to offer latch-key programs, or child-care programs for school-age children, during the 1992-93 school year. The handbook supplies school corporations with: (1) a copy of the text of the legislation; (2) a checklist of key issues to be addressed; (3) information about specific school policies that must be adopted, along with sample policy statements; (4) information about deadlines that must be met; (5) regulations for school-age child-care programs; (6) a sample parent survey that can be used to assess corporation needs; (7) ideas on child-care program preparation, including material on choosing an outside provider or hiring personnel directly, and choosing a location; (8) a discussion of financial issues and funding sources; (9) information on waivers for school corporations that believe that the implementation of a school-age child-care program would result in undue financial hardship on the corporation; and (10) a list of the names, addresses, and telephone numbers of 64 Indiana child-care providers that have indicated an interest in working with schools in the implementation of child care programs.
