Domain I Comp 2 Attribute 2
Last year I wrote, with a team of PK "experts", the PreKindergarten Early Start Grant. We were awarded $5 million over the next 5 years. We have included all PK classrooms in BISD and some Day Care facilities, a requirement of the grant. This year, we created a Plan of Action for the education of PK students. This plan includes a Mission Statement, "A Day in the Life of a Pker" to make known to new principals of Pkers the educational expectations for 3- and 4-year olds. Our mission is to get them early and get them engaged. This goes for the parents too, which I'll cover in another competency. I also held an overview for administrators also another competency.

I am going to have to talk to you about this one. My understanding is that our PK does not recieve funding because of the lack of socioeconomically disadvantaged kids. We need 15 kids out of 25 to qualify. Unreasonable. Can we use something like this?
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure. Everything I've read defines what make a student SES, but not the %age needed to qualify. I know to be a Title-wide campus is 40$ of your population. We were chosen by the state as "eligible to apply".
