Sunol Glen to join Alameda County EDI data collection; district to receive $65,500 for three-year cycle
Summary
The board heard a presentation on Sunol Glen's participation as a 1st 5 Alameda County contractor to collect the Early Development Instrument (EDI) data; the district will receive $65,500 for the upcoming three‑year cycle to fund a program coordinator and related EDI work, with UCLA as data partner.
Karen Jeffries (instrument coordinator) described the district's role as a 1st 5 Alameda County contractor to participate in Early Development Instrument (EDI) data collection that informs early childhood and school‑readiness programming.
"We will be paid $65,500 for our participation," Jeffries said, explaining those funds would support a program coordinator position plus expenses to complete the EDI cycle; UCLA will partner on data collection. The EDI captures five domains of early development that predict later school success (physical health, emotional maturity, social competence, language/cognitive skills, communication and general knowledge) and is collected every three years while Measure C funding remains in effect.
Board members asked clarifying questions about training costs, teacher release time for administering the instrument, and the number of kindergarten teachers involved; staff said kindergarten teachers will receive release time and substitutes for the EDI work. No board action was required on the item at this meeting.
