Schaumburg parks honored for after-school program
The Schaumburg Park District recently was honored with a Shared Service Award for the district's KASPER program.
The award, presented Dec. 15 by Lt. Governor Evelyn Sanguinetti, recognizes local units of government that work cooperatively to deliver effective and efficient services to the community.
KASPER is the result of an intergovernmental agreement between the park district and Schaumburg Township Elementary District 54.
For more than 30 years, the KASPER program has provided a vital service to children and families in the community through before- and afterschool care. With more than 900 children and 11 sites, the program ensures youngsters have a safe place to go in the mornings and afternoons while their parents are at work.
