District says pre‑K grant moving forward; 120 families have expressed interest
Summary
A presenter told the Hancock County Board of Education a pre‑K grant has been approved and the district has received about 120 interest forms; parent sessions and open enrollment are scheduled as the district aims to have classrooms ready by October.
Representatives updating the board on the district’s pre‑K grant said the program is being stood up quickly.
Miller Taylor (presenter) said the grant was written and submitted previously and that community outreach has generated about 120 family interest forms as of the previous day. Two parent sessions were scheduled for the following week and open enrollment was planned for the end of the month. The presenter said the goal is to have classrooms operational by October and emphasized family engagement and inclusion, noting the program intends to serve both general and special‑needs children in inclusive pre‑K settings.
Board members asked procedural questions about sites and locations; the transcript records discussion of multiple locations (North, South, West) hosting pre‑K sessions and a plan for enrollment spots to match campus capacity.
