LEETONIA The Leetonia school district is now offering a before and after school care program for elementary students.
Schools Superintendent Dennis Dunham this week told the school board the program is a free service offered for students in grades kindergarten through six for parents who need assistance before and/or after school hours. The program is available 6:30 to 8:30 a.m. and 3:30 to 6 p.m. weekdays.
Dunham noted the current only requires a coordinator, but an aide will be available if numbers increase.
The board then approved Mike Frenger as program coordinator for the remainder of the school year, effective Jan. 14 at $25 per hour and Rick Davis as aide.
