SHERMAN, Tex. -- The city daycare in Sherman is not closing after all.
The Sherman city council decided to keep the facility open despite first reports it would close at the end of December.
Council members did not find any more money, but they did get a current, non-profit daycare to agree to manage the facility. Jack and Jill Daycare will take over. The city will still provide the same building.
Federal tax dollars- but not city taxes- will help pay for the facility.
"The Sherman daycare's going to continue in the same location. The city assets, the building, will be leased for a nominal sum to a not-for-profit center. The same services will be provided [at] the same location. The only difference is Sherman taxpayers won't be footing the bill for a daycare," Sherman mayor Bill Magers says.
The changes are set to take effect January 1, 2009.
