More Positive Expectation is Possible

The base starting point is that most cities and neighborhoods wish they were more safe, civil and the education system was more proficient. What if increased education could drive economic prosperity to increasing real estate values? Is there a small business not interested? Is there a homeowner not interested?

Here is a community First Things First (FTF) assumption

It is a positive expectation to believe locations within cities and suburbs have real estate values related to the safety, security and education of the mothers and children on the street. Formally the real estate values are not peg to this directly but informally residential values have an education plus or minus component and commercial rates definitely are impacted by full utilization by a prosperous citizenship. Lets look at

If the community will existed it could guarantee that 100% of the children would measure proficient in the standardized 3rd grade tests.

Then the economic development site selectors for new business could count on a continuous improvement in the education quality of the citizenship as it looks to place business and job growth. How long would it take to compete nationally for the best relocations if 100% of the 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade kids measured proficient, for reasons known to be the results of continuous improvement.

We will need to combine the above simple starts with the risk valuation regarding what happens after we spend the $10,000. The community presents a range of risks per at risk child. The risk is that the child will grow up and not plus the GDP and reduce the cost of schools and government by at least 1 million dollars over 40 years. Assume the increase GDP or reduced costs will inflate by 2% per year. The present value per child based on risks ranging from 25% to 5% looks like this.

Present Value of $1,000,000 and a Veteran

There are times when a picture is worth a thousand words. Well, the at risk kids not recovered by the elementary school never read above 4th grade levels. They are not even on this graph. Moms before kindergarten who understand the message are more often making sure their children are on the line to the left. The middle gap over 40 future years represents the $1,000,000. It is hard to think it is just a $1,000,000 gap. The ROI is a slam dunk if 100% of the children are reading proficiently after 3rd grade. Think about the payoffs in the school way above the test scores.

The Government sector, and the school sector, and the non-profit sector will never generate the new money this new industry needs to deliver 100% of the at risk children ready per a contracted guarantee.

See the right off the press 2010 status report of how Early Reading Skills are fairing as a FTFRTFT requirement in the New Federal Education Law. Interesting that Federal Poverty Money and ESEA Money for school kids in poverty has really never made it to the most at risk on a first things first basis.

We see delivery of the Early Reading Skills to at risk kids in the private sector. It is a new $20-30 billion industry ($150 million in Minnesota) and the new money will need to be paid back by the savings in the government and schools by using revenue bonds at the local level or loans from the multi-nationals.

Multi-nationals have money to invest because of the 2004 Job Creation Act as they received tax forgiveness for the repatriation of foreign earnings.

This money is available right now under the positive expectation assumption it will be paid back. Who is/will be the first 100 effective communities to execute this loan and payback against first things first high quality expectations?

At Least Most States Know How Important Early Reading Skills Are

I hope this site is clear. The effective who claim this new money for new delivery are expected to come out of the grassroots of a community. County, State and Federal government is out of money. The effective are claiming economic, education, emotional and ethical growth for themselves, their kids and the at risk kids they live with for themselves. It is way too much money to expect the non profits to award.

The most obvious trigger is; it is FTFRTFT, why is it waiting for new money, something else should be waiting for money, like... This thinking is clear, any other thinking is not.

High quality positive expectations must be created in a for profit industry monetized by a contract. The contract must be one size fits one that has value to the governments and schools location by location.
