District takes close look at co-op - Daily Democrat Online


District takes close look at co-op - Daily Democrat Online:

"While funding for the Woodland Parent Nursery School only accounts for a fraction of the about $3 million in the school district's necessary cuts for 2010-11, outcry among parents is 100 percent.

The Woodland Parent Nursery School is a 55-year-old cooperative that enables parents to work for reduced fees while playing an instrumental role in their child's education.

The preschool is overseen by the district's Adult Education program, which pays for a full-time director and teacher, amounting to $29,885 of the districts general fund.
The preschool is one of four Adult Education programs on the chopping block, equating to half a million dollars in potential cuts to the school."
