I’m not happy with Champions as the vendor for Leonardo Grade School. Champions is an out-of-state vendor that costs families more than the previous vendor, the local YMCA, which offered digital check-in/check-out and maintained adequate staffing ratios for students. Champions does not staff appropriately, uses paper logs, and now pays the school district for limited exclusive playground time due to staffing shortages, something that was not an issue before. While Champions did retain some of the former YMCA staff, whom we like very much and appreciate, not all were kept. So where is the extra money we’re paying to Champions actually going?
