Description:
While data for the 2020 edition of America After 3PM were collected pre-pandemic, to accompany the data and determine how the pandemic has affected families’ needs during the hours after school, the Afterschool Alliance commissioned a nationally representative follow-up survey of parents in October 2020. The follow-up survey found that nearly half of Black parents reported stress due to providing learning support while their child’s school is operating virtually (47 percent) and concerns about their ability to juggle working and monitoring their child’s distance learning (46 percent), and 3 in 4 Black parents (74 percent) say that the experience of coronavirus has made them appreciate teachers and afterschool program providers more than ever.
