Executive Summary
The Supervisor of Literacy, Intervention and Elementary Academic Programs, on behalf of the Superintendent of Schools, hereby requests the Board to approve the agreement between Hernando County School Board and the Early Learning Coalition for voluntary pre-kindergarten services. The school district will administer the Voluntary Pre-Kindergarten Education program at the district level for students in a fall pre-kindergarten program delivered with Title I wrap around services (Title I schools) and self-pay wrap around services for Chocachatti Elementary School.
Brooksville, Chocachatti, Deltona, Eastside, Moton, Pine Grove, Spring Hill, and Westside Elementary Schools will be used for Fall VPK. VPK dollars will be used to off-set costs for Pre-K from Title I. The goal is to build a larger Pre-K program to serve the early learning needs of the district. The program will begin August 14, 2023 through May 31, 2024. The program will follow the 2023-2024 HCSD student calendar.

Financial Impact
See attached budget sheet.
If expenditure is not currently budgeted, this will serve as the budget amendment when Board approved. If the agenda item includes the purchase of goods or services, the funds requested are an anticipated amount and may fluctuate depending on such factors as current market conditions, product availability, additional funding sources, and the needs of the District. Should the actual cost exceed the anticipated amount, the Board approves the additional cost, after review by the superintendent, but not in excess of the funds available in the site’s approved annual budget.
