The Arbeiterwohlfahrt (AWO) is the new provider of the open all-day program at the municipal primary schools in Hohenbrunn.
The local council has now decided this.
The AWO is scheduled to take over this task from September.
Hohenbrunn
– There is actually already a sponsor: the Munich-Land District Youth Association (KJR).
It is not because of the cooperation that the path with the KJR is no longer taken.
Hohenbrunn's mayor Stefan Straßmair (CSU) made this clear: "It's a good model project that we have here." But the situation has changed.
It's about which pot the offer is co-financed from.
This hasn't worked in the past;
the community had to assume a not insignificant deficit.
receive funding
In order to achieve eligibility for funding under the Bavarian Child Education and Care Act (BayKiBiG), the municipality proposed a change to “cooperative all-day”, in which external providers, such as sports clubs and music schools, are also involved in looking after the students.
Of course we spoke to the KJR beforehand.
But he did not feel he was conceptually in a position to make an offer for this.
By mutual agreement, the collaboration was terminated in order to pave the way for a new provider.
As a result, the previous competitors were asked to rethink and revise their previous offers.
Both complied with the request.
The school management was also involved in advance and was clearly in favor of the AWO.
Costs for parents are changing
However, with the changed responsibility according to the BayKiBiG, there are also costs for the parents.
Because this means that the all-day offer is equated with an after-school care center.
In order not to overwhelm the parents, since they have not yet paid anything for this offer, Straßmair and his administration suggested setting the costs to be borne by the parents at the same level as the previous lunchtime care until 4 p.m.
The cooperative all-day offer lasts until 6 p.m.
The external offers must be paid for by the parents.
“In terms of content, we don’t want much to change,” says Straßmair.
With two dissenting votes from the CSU, the proposed route was approved by the local council.
