House Bill 1726, as amended, which was passed by the General Assembly in 1979, directed the Division for Children to "study the need for and advisability of public school programs for pupils before and after regular school hours, and report its findings and recommendations to the Governor and General Assembly on or before November 1, 1980." Since the original intent of the legislation was related to the appropriateness of public schools providing extended day care programs for school age children before and after regular school hours, we have focused our study in that area.
