What are the enrollment priority requirements?

The voluntary prekindergarten classrooms follow the state requirements for applications.  The first tier includes those students who are economically disadvantaged as identified based on income eligibility supplied at enrollment.  The second tier includes students with disabilities, students identified as English Language Learners (ELL), in state custody, or those identified as educationally at-risk for failure due to circumstances of abuse or neglect.  If space for enrollment remains after identifying children who meet Tier 1 or 2, the LEA may enroll any child that meets the age requirement and the requirements set forth by the Community Pre-K Advisory Council (C-PAC). These students are considered unserved or underserved and may be enrolled by the process established by the C-PAC.
