Results unclear for programs in Montgomery Co.

Montgomery County taxpayers are funding after-school programs, but county leaders have no idea how many programs are available, how many kids they are reaching or even the total amount of money provided, council members said Monday.

Council President Mike Knapp said County Council members first requested basic information about after-school and positive youth development efforts three years ago. Since that time, although the County Recreation Department, schools and council members have pieced together information about certain programs, there is no comprehensive document or database that contains a list of all programs available or funded by the county.
