Additionally, the number of family applications was adjusted to 104 total applicants due to two duplicate applications. Of the original 104 applicants, seventeen (17) have opted out or not participating for various reasons including their preferred school is not a partner provider, their child is not age eligible, or their selected public school does not require a parental fee contribution. The remaining 87 applicants have been cleared to participate with 75 having signed confirmatory letters of participation. The remaining twelve (12) are still pending PreK provider selection due to their child's wait list status at their preferred school or other reasons.
Based on the number of eligible applicants, it is anticipated the City will utilize approximately $234,900 of the original budget allocation of $250,000 during the 2021-22 school year.
