Bay City ISD Board of Trustees approved an agreement with the YMCA for after school day care, benefitting the district. YMCA has provided safe, quality, and affordable childcare to hundreds of local children for 28 years. Talks began in February, with community leaders concerned about childcare. President William Oliver of Victoria YMCA was approached by Judge Bobby Seiferman to explore bringing YMCA to Bay City. A survey was sent in May to gauge interest in the program at Bay City elementary schools.
