3. Highland Park After School Program, drops off students to school in the morning and picks up students after school for busy parents who are not able to due to work commitments and the families are lower middle class meaning they are financial challenged. The after-school program must submit a yearly budget to the provincial government to get additional funding to run the programs and support families. They are in a slight positive financial status but feel that if they got more money from the provincial government, they could improve the support for their children. They are aware that many of these students come from challenging family situations and lack meals, school supplies and proper clothing for the weather. Every year, they go through the same challenges but if they alter their financial position to show they are losing money (which they are not), they can redirect the funding to those families in need (which they would do) to try and ease some of the challenges. They need the funding from the government that has a surplus of funds for this sort of budget request.
