yeah, there was a bit of a rukus about closing all the before- and after-care programs for schoolkids. Some of the program funding ended Sept 30 and hasn't been renewed because of the shutdown

The big concerns were:
- some kids will no longer get their reduced price breakfast/lunch
- some parents won't be able to find alternative arrangements for their kids on short notice (so they will have to take time off work)
- the program administrators are afraid some kids will be left at home alone OR just wander about getting in trouble.

Keep an eye on your hubcaps
