Program Summary ( ) The program was similar to the with the difference being: *In we did not provide Imagine Learning for literacy in particular. It was provided for English Language Learners. We will continue to provide full day kindergarten with the funding assisting us with the additional expense of the program. With the additional funding we will add.5 classified FTE to assist in the full time kindergarten program. The difference in our funding is insubstantial as far as providing programs and services. The changes the District is making go above and beyond the additional funding the District will be receiving because we believe in, and are committed to, developing literacy skills for all students.program Summary ( )
