Question: I know it’s late, but can I still find some summer programs that are both fun and educational? — Searching

Answer: You will definitely be able to still find some summer programs for your children. Not all will be filled up yet.

• Start with your  school to see what summer programs they are putting on. Many offer more than summer school.

• Local libraries almost always will offer programs.

The calls alarmed Dutterer — not just because she worried for her daughter’s safety, but because the calls, she felt, indicated that Kaela’s teacher couldn’t handle her.
