The Madison school board may vote Wednesday night on Superintendent Lee Kaple's proposal to discontinue subsidizing the Early Childhood Learning Center at 103 Bahl Avenue.

The infant through pre-school daycare and educational program has been funded with a grant, which is expiring.

Kaple says the childhood center has been deficit spending in the range of $75,000 to $175,000 in each of the last three years.

He says the school district has to subsidize those deficits but can no longer afford to. 

Kaple says most the Early Childhood Learning Center's funding comes from fees parents pay, and the understanding when the grant was obtained it would be self-supporting.

And while the fees could be raised to offset the deficits and keep the program going, they would become very expensive.

If the Madison school board cuts its financial support, it would take effect June 28th.
