We believe we brought a plan that matched boards criteria.
Kim: interested in pre-k development. How fast could we fill sites? Is this a program that could use general funds dollars?
Kim S./Mike: Early childhood programs are at capacity. Fair Oaks. Should be growing based on state statistics. Intervene early and remediate kids so they don't need special ed later. We need space now. [Not a really strong arguement.]
Mike: Funding is from state that is dedicated for ECL and then from parents. So, it does not affect the general budget. All fee based.
Dean: Is there a point in time when those students would reach parity with others? Is it people's obligation to transport?
Transport - it depends.
Dean: Geographically where is the greatest need?
Kim s.: [Basically they do not have an overlay that indicates geographic need.]
Guy: Need is tied to socioeconomic factors.
Mike: ECFE created in MN in 1979 - Osseo was one of the first few. It is really parent education focus. Parent education because parent is most influential factor.
