CCARP fees and hardship program

A Culver City parent voiced support for the temporary fee freeze and self-attestation subsidy, urging the commission to treat CARP as essential child care for working families and to clarify residency language.

A West Culver mom of two echoed support for the fee freeze, calling CARP her kindergartner's favorite thing and warning that higher fees would ripple to other after-school programs across the community.

A Lin Howe parent and teacher described the shock of the sudden 50% fee increase right before school started, said two more increases would make CARP costlier than private options, and asked for a long-term freeze or reasonable increases.
