DISTRICTS TO PROVIDE CHILD CARE SERVICES
School districts have the authority to provide programs that
offer care for children, including children not enrolled as
students of the school district. The facilities of the school
district may be used to provide these programs.  School district
funds may be used for the operation of the child care programs
and for the construction or remodeling of facilities to house
such programs. School districts may not contract with private or
other public agencies to provide child care services, either in
district facilities or elsewhere, without express statutory
authority. The school districts are authorized to charge fees
for child care services but, if they charge fees, they may not
waive some or all of the fees otherwise chargeable based upon
such factors as the income of the parents. The districts are not
authorized to furnish transportation to children in child care
programs established by the district unless authorized by a
specific statute.

Dear Sir:
By letter previously acknowledged you have requested the
opinion of this office on the following questions (which we have
reordered and paraphrased for clarity):
1. Do school districts have the authority to provide
programs that offer care for children, including
children not enrolled as students of the school
district?
2. Assuming an affirmative answer to question 1, may
the facilities of the district be used for this
purpose?
