A week after first announcing its fall childcare option for working parents, which it's calling the "Supporting Return To School (SRS) Program," Fairfax County has released more details.

Enrollment begins August 24 and space is limited, since there will be a maximum of just 10 kids per classroom. The program begins on the first day of school, Sept. 8, and will be held Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Fairfax County Public Schools is the largest school system in Virginia, with nearly 190,000 students.

"We've always considered this not to be just a school problem," Fairfax County Board of Supervisors Chairman Jeff McKay said of the pandemic-forced all-virtual learning when he spoke to ABC7 last week.

"This is a community problem that will take the schools and the county working together to solve. What our Board of Supervisors has been clear on is that the county has an important role to play in narrowing the achievement gap and helping our working families to be able to go back to work without having to be concerned about not working, not being able to pay the bills because they have to take care of and help their kids get logged on and learn during the day."

"It's really designed to help kids with the greatest needs," McKay went on to say. "So we've begun outreach for at-risk youth, we're working with our schools. We have a database of children whose families receive free and reduced price lunches already, and we're reaching out to all of them to get an idea of whether they would be interested in enrolling in this program," he said. "And then later in August we'll put out a regular notice for everyone else to apply to the program."

He said the county's most vulnerable students would be prioritized during that registration process.

"We know that our at-risk children have greater challenges with internet connectivity, and may not have the kind of support structure," he said. "So what we're attempting to do in this program is not duplicate any of the online learning, but frankly have staff there to make sure kids are online and have the technical support that they need."

The program will be staffed by county employees through the Fairfax County Office For Children, which has worked to provide educational care for students before and after school long before the coronavirus pandemic began.
