Four thousand more Chicago children will have access to after-school and summer programs, thanks to a $4 million investment tied to Mayor
Rahm Emanuel’s 2013 budget. Emanuel has already promised to give 5,000 more toddlers access to early childhood education programs over the next three years — and upgrade the quality of existing programs. Now, he’s making a $4 million investment in after-school and summer programs tailor-made to keep older kids occupied, off the streets and out of trouble.
