We've been open to our neighborhood students in the summer for the past 10
years or so. We are always a summer school site so the building is open
anyway (and the district is picking up the tab for the A/C). We keep the
summer school hours - my aide normally staffs it - she also serves the
summer school teachers (and yes, she's paid for her efforts).
Our rule that that students going into the 4, 5 or 6th grade can come alone
and that children younger than that MUST be accompanied by an adult (it can
be a mother / aunt/ grandmother etc) and that adult must STAY with them. We
are only open to "our kids" because they know the rules and expectations.
We insist on the adult staying with the younger children because otherwise
we'd also be babysitting - and we'd be stuck with kids with no way to get
home once the summer school day was finished.
