Noting the increase in school-based extended-day programs, this Issue Brief updates and expands upon previous findings by presenting data on extended-day programs drawn from the 1987-88, 1990-91, and 1993-94 Schools and Staffing Surveys, conducted by the National center for Education Statistics. Findings include the following: (1) availability of extended-day programs increased in all types of elementary schools, but were more often found in private schools than in public schools; (2) extended-day programs were least available in rural schools; (3) extended-day programs were consistently more available in high-minority schools than in low-minority schools; (4) in 1993-94, participation in extended-day programs was higher in high-poverty schools than in low- or medium-poverty schools, although availability of programs in these schools was similar; (5) the availability of extended-day programs increased more in Catholic schools than in other private schools--by 1993-94, similar percentages of Catholic and nonsectarian private schools offered extended-day programs. The data suggest that schools are responding to the need for non-parental care of children, and that the higher participation rate in high-poverty areas may signify the success of efforts to provide poor children with opportunities to extend their learning. Findings raise additional research questions such as: do differences in program availability reflect differences in demand, is availability adequate to meet the needs of single-parent and dual-working-parent families, and what percentage of students participating in extended-day programs do so because of parental interest in academic enrichment versus child care?
