Random drawing held to assign spaces available
to typically developing children. |
|
Funding Source |
|
Parent-paid tuition of $50/month plus $20
registration fee, for non-special education children. No low-income
assistance; if eligible, referred to local Head Start program. |

Unmet Demand |
|
Yes, greater demand than capacity necessitated
random drawing to fill available spaces. |
|
Plans for Expanded Offering |
|
No. In fact, despite high demand, district
expects to discontinue integrated model program since the number of
developmentally delayed children is increasing and they have priority. There
are also administrative difficulties with collecting tuition for the
non-special ed children. |
