Dyker Heights — The McKinley Beacon Center, an after-school program for kids in School District 20, is on the chopping block due to city budget cuts. But local officials are vowing a fight to keep the center open.
“It would be terrible if it closed. Everyone would feel it, particularly working parents who need a place for their kids to go after school,” said Laurie Windsor, president of the Community Education Council of School District 20.
