The city’s Parks Department requested the Von King Park Cultural Center’s After School Program closed on July 1, according to a letter obtained by Kings County Politics/Our Time Press.

The letter informs the state Office of Children & Family Services that the Cultural Center had stopped running the program June 2014, and inferred it should therefore be cut. The Parks Department official comment was they shuttered the after school program because only eight kids showed up.

This is disputed by several parents.

Here is the letter:
