Read about the gifted alumni who were presented the school’s highest honors (pages 9-11) on the Feast of St. Charles Novem- ber 4. Also read about this year’s Borromean Lecture and the com- ments delivered by Carl Anderson (pages 12-13), supreme knight of the Knights of Columbus, just two days later on November 6. In our Student News section we feature 31 seniors who were recognized by the National Merit Corporation as some of the bright- est in the nation (pages 11-12) The St. Charles community didn’t lack for something to do this summer and fall! Look inside for information and photos from the ’08 Combined Class Re- union Celebration (pages 24-25); Homecoming and the Alumni Golf Outing;(pages 28 & 33); and The Kathleen A. Cavello Mothers of St. Charles Luncheon (page 33). Our Alumni News and Class Notes sections (pages 34-45) are loaded as usual with updates, features, photos and stories about St. Charles alumni.

  • Child Care Access in 2020

    Child Care Access in 2020

    Summer 2019 CHILD CARE ACCESS IN 2020: How will pending state mandates affect availability in Franklin County, Ohio? Abel J. Koury, Ph.D., Jamie O’Leary, MPA, Laura Justice, Ph.D., Jessica A.R. Logan, Ph.D., James Uanhoro INTRODUCTION AND PURPOSE Child care provision is a critical service for children and their families, and it can also bolster the workforce and larger economy. For child care to truly be beneficial, however, it must be affordable, accessible, and high quality. A current state requirement regarding child care programming may have enormous implications for many of Ohio’s most vulnerable families who rely on funding for child care. Specifically, by 2020, any Ohio child care provider that accepts Publicly Funded Child Care (PFCC) subsidies must both apply to and receive entry into Ohio’s quality rating and improvement system – Step Up To Quality (SUTQ) (the “2020 mandate”). The purpose of this paper is two-fold. First, we aim to provide an in-depth examination of the availability of child care in Franklin County, Ohio, with a specific focus on PFCC-accepting programs, and explore how this landscape may change in July of 2020. Second, we aim to examine the locations of programs that are most at risk for losing child care sites, highlighting possible deserts through the use of mapping. Crane Center for Early Childhood Research and Policy Improving children’s well-being through research, practice, and policy.1 2020 SUTQ Mandate: What is at stake? According to an analysis completed by Franklin County Jobs and Family Services (JFS), if the 2020 mandate went into effect today, over 21,000 young children would lose their care (Franklin County Jobs and Family Services, 2019).
