The Demand for After-School Programs in Arkansas (July 2009)
Half of 3,700 Arkansas children recently surveyed said they were unsupervised after school on a regular basis, according to a new report by students from the University of Arkansas Clinton School of Public Service.
The report on the demand for after-school programs in Arkansas public schools also found that a majority of the children surveyed would consider attending an after-school program if their school offered one.
