In Medford, we offer a variety of after school programs and activities at the elementary, middle, and high school level. These include after school care programs, enrichment activities coordinated by individual PTO’s, and sports programs. This fall, we added a crew program at Medford High School and more than 30 students are participating. Recently a community member and parent to children attending our schools offered some suggestions for teen programs. I will be working with her to research and develop her ideas. We are concerned that a segment of our young teen population especially students with disabilities could be better served. It will be important to look at what we are offering and initiate new programs that meet the needs of all our students.
