The Simcoe County District School Board is debating the future of before and after school programs and parents with children in Kindergarten to Grade 5 have until next week to be heard.

"In order to determine if a before and after school program will be, or will continue to be, viable at your school for the 2016-2017 year, we are asking parents of children in Kindergarten to Grade 5 to fill out this short questionnaire," a Board notice advises parents.

"Your responses will help us determine if a program in your school will meet, or continue to meet, minimum enrolment as well the hours of care families in your school community require."

Survey results will be used to project enrolment and viability of before and after school programs in schools for the next school year.

The expected program fee for each child for the 2016-17 school year are:
Before Care *$9.25
After Care*$13.50
Before and After Care*$18.50 
Non-instructional days (P.A. days, March Break, Winter Break) *$33.50
The survey is open until February 12, 2016.
