Also maybe post in the DU education forum, but you should also look for other boards specific to your state and even to your district or county.

If you have any capacity whatsoever to assist afterschool, do that, and to be brutally honest, there are parents/guardians who are better off pulling their child out of a bad situation, but it needs to be done in the correct manner and with a plan.

Good luck.
