Byram Township School District files Preschool Education Aid application, names partner centers
Summary
The Byram Township School District submitted a Preschool Education Aid application and the superintendent said the district would partner with First Impressions and Early Discovery Learning if the aid is awarded; the board later approved submission as part of the consent agenda.
The Byram Township School District submitted a Preschool Education Aid (PEA) application on Aug. 20 and told the board it plans to partner with two early-childhood centers—First Impressions and Early Discovery Learning—if the grant is awarded.
Superintendent Dr. Kurt Ceresnak reported at the board meeting that the application was submitted that day and described plans to contract with the two centers to deliver preschool services contingent on receiving the aid. The administration later included formal approval of the PEA application on the consent agenda, which passed on a roll call vote.
The transcript does not specify the requested award amount or the timeline for a funding decision. The superintendent’s remarks and the board’s consent vote indicate the district is positioning to expand preschool access subject to state aid.
