Live Video Conference: School Readiness Project

Invitation to Attend the Live Video Conference (RSVP by 02-19-13)

You are invited to learn from the success of Chemung's School Readiness Project (SRP) and its partner organizations. SRP could serve as a model for coalitions and other organizations across the state working to help close the educational achievement gap. Select BOCES and School Districts throughout NYS* will act as host sites enabling participation in the video conference. Discover how your county or region may be able to replicate the model.

About the School Readiness Project

Launched in 2006 as an innovative early childhood education program, the Chemung County School Readiness Project makes sure that every child born in Chemung County enters school with the solid foundation he or she needs to become a successful learner.

Four pillars provide the framework of the plan: quality early care and education, parent education, health care, and support for new parents provided in their homes by nurses. From 2007 to 2011, the percentage of incoming kindergarten students who were school ready rose from 47.5 percent to 68.6 percent, nearly cutting in half the number of kindergartners considered unready for school.
