Board approves collaborative universal pre-K contract with Mountain Park Community Services
Summary
The board approved a collaboration so district Pre-K and Mountain Park Community Services operate as a unified program; changes include adding eligible 5-year-olds under a state waiver and a $500 reimbursement per child arrangement.
District early-childhood staff presented a collaborative contract between Wyoming County Schools and Mountain Park Community Services that formalizes 100% collaborative Pre-K classrooms and incorporates a recent state waiver allowing certain 5-year-olds to enroll in pre-K rather than kindergarten.
Presenter Diana Bailey outlined financial and operational details, including a $500 per-child reimbursement to Mountain Park facilities that supplement state funding, and said the contract runs from Sept. 3 through the school year with standard provisions for dispute resolution and Head Start performance standards. "We reimburse $500 per child," Bailey said while describing how the funds support family-service specialists and wraparound services. The board approved the contract 5–0.
