Finance Committee reviews proposal for Tableland to host Pre K4 program
Summary
At a March 11 Finance Committee meeting, Dr. Dice proposed that Tableland host an all-day Pre K4 program with district bus service; the minutes record program design but do not specify enrollment, costs, or a timeline.
Dr. Dice addressed the Finance Committee on March 11 with a proposal for early-childhood programming in the district. "Dr. Dice started off discussing the opportunity for Tableland to host a Pre K4 program here at the district," the minutes state. The proposal described an all-day Pre K4 that would use district-provided transportation on regular bus routes.
The minutes also record that a partial-day Pre K3 option was discussed, with transportation to be provided both ways by parents or guardians. The record does not provide enrollment projections, a start date, cost estimates, or whether the program would be phased in; those details were not specified in the minutes. Amanda Younkin summarized related budget edits: "Amanda discussed the changes made since the last session." Those changes included staff reassignments and line-item adjustments tied to the district's updated budget draft.
The committee did not record any formal motion, vote, or decision on the Pre K proposal in these minutes. The meeting recessed at 6:01 p.m. without a recorded vote on this item. Next steps, such as a formal recommendation, board approval date or a public rollout plan, were not specified in the minutes.
