Notes |
Franklin-McKinley School District with support from the David and Lucile Packard Foundation has supported the district’s Starting Strong and Smart Initiative, universal preschool and T-K plan. Educare California at Silicon Valley also provides child development services in the district in conjunction with the Santa Clara County Office of Education, Head Start and Eastside Union High School District. The district also has a strong and active FRC funded by FIRST 5 and operated by Catholic Charities of Santa Clara County (Catholic Charities) at Educare. The Franklin-McKinley Children’s Initiative is also part of the service mix. There is also a partnership with the San Jose Public Library at this FRC. There are plans to expand and open an additional FRC in the Seven Trees community. State subsidized child care is provided by SJB Child Development Centers as well as Kidango. Franklin-McKinley just completed its Early Learning Strategic Plan and their Board of Trustees unanimously adopted it at their January 10, 2018 meeting. The district uses the Early Development Instrument (EDI) as their assessment and works with the evaluators from University of California Los Angeles (UCLA). |
