Paramount Unified reports state preschool program met all required self‑evaluation dimensions; 215 enrolled
Summary
District staff reported the state preschool self‑evaluation met all five required key dimensions for 2025–26 and said the program enrolled 215 children this year, 68% of whom are dual‑language learners and 17% of whom have IEPs.
Dr. Jeffrey, the district director of elementary education, told the board that the Paramount Unified state preschool program met all five required self‑evaluation dimensions for the year: family files, family engagement, program quality, administration, and fiscal practices.
Dr. Jeffrey said the program this school year operated eight preschool classrooms across six sites, serving 215 three‑ and four‑year‑old children. He reported 68% of enrolled children are dual‑language learners and 17% are students with individualized education programs (IEPs). The district plans outreach events and community recruitment to maintain enrollment and highlighted a recent state consultant visit that found the program in compliance.
Next steps the presenter listed include continued promotion of family partnerships, enhanced instructional support, language modeling and parent‑education activities aligned to the district strategic plan and Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP). Board members asked clarifying questions about enrollment procedures and were told families can enroll on site and staff will assist with registration.
