Most Important! We Are Shouting About New Money !!

20 Billion Dollar Bridge Needed!!

Ethics would tell us not to leave our most at risk most exposed behind. However sadly, we have done that by virtue of the money available or the money withheld from the innovation. And, generally the most at risk child is not visible (out of sight and out of mind) until kindergarten.

School Districts have used Title I Federal Money designed to address the at risk population within the law of the land since 1965 but the law makes it somewhat difficult to apply to the Pre-K population outright. It cannot be used for contracted services outright. When Title I was created less was known about the importance of early delivery of reading, counting and positive direction skills one size fits one. Title I is a very significant 14 Billion dollars targeted to the at risk population through K-12 public schools.

It is very significant to the Pre-K industry as public policy is changed between and within the Federal, State and District Silos of Public Education Spending that include Title I. There will be leaders and followers to make the most of this change. There will be exceptional leading use of these funds to reach the bottom half.

The Federal Government will push the Use of Title I to Pre-K

Complicated but Simple Use of Title I - Doing the Most Good

Many districts will find a way to "use" Title I money for the most at risk pre-k children. Reaching the most at risk will require exceptional leadership and ATTITUDE will make a difference.

Every District- First Find the Way to Fund Pre-K for the Most At Risk with Title I. Hard to Ask for More if You Don't do This.

Extremely Effective Use of PreK Effort to Avoid the Cost of Special Education

Communities Must Bridge to a New Industry of Mentoring Mother and Child without More Brick and Mortar

-CONTRACT DELIVERY-

Schools Will Learn to Cut Costs and Demand 100% Readiness For the Dollar

Executives want a new value adding industry to deliver early reading skills to at risk kids for the school district's proficiency if it will save money. (If it will save money the value will show up "immediately" in the value of the real estate)

It is Important to Ask the Uncomfortable Question Right Now as We Look for the New Money.

The Education Sciences tell us Early Literacy, Numeracy, and Order Skills are critical before kindergarten because many peers show up ready. This leaves many behind through no fault of their own. We have a problem for halfof the kids and it can't be solved by holding thoses ready back or sending some to charter schools or giving some computers and handhelds as innovation.

Leadership of a high quality process will define starting ready or evenly as First Things First. If not it needs to be debated. However, once it is debated and defined as first things first, THE EARLY READING, COUNTING AND UNDERSTANDING OF POSITIVE DIRECTION (ERSD) Delivery should no longer be waiting for the new money.

Please read the above sentence, again.

Something else needs to wait or be put on hold because ERSD is by definition within a high quality pre-K to Grade 12 process one of the very first things to do that will make everything else different, easier and more productive with greater upside.

Doing First Things First is Effectiveness. Trying to restructure from the middle back and forward is just plain illogical as business has experieinced in the last 40 years.

Without restructuring first things first a system is actually ignoring the science of constraints and is wasting money in the very restructuring process purported to be saving money.

The Need For High Quality Habits Will Always Prevail

Something else needs to wait or be put on hold because ERSD is by definition within a high quality pre-K to grade 12 process one of the very first things to do that will make everything else different and easier.

Leadership Attitude Makes This Difference.
