On Thursday, February 11th, 2010 half of the New Jersey After 3's budgeted state allocation was eliminated. Compounding this issue is the fact that New Jersey After 3 funding has been omitted from the recently proposed FY2011 State Budget.
The result of this reduction, should it stand, will be the closure of afterschool programs for more than 11,000 students and their families, the loss of over 1,100 full and part-time jobs during a difficult economy, and the loss of significant private and Federal investments that are leveraged against the State's annual investment.
