Proposal

What is Preschool for All?

Preschool for All (PFA) is a special program offered in Illinois that gives every child access to high-quality early learning experiences. It’s designed for children ages 3 to 5, helping prepare them for kindergarten and beyond by developing important skills in areas like language, math, and social-emotional growth.

​

Why is Preschool for All important?

In PFA classrooms, certified teachers use fun, engaging activities to spark curiosity and learning. The goal is to ensure that all children, regardless of their background, can build a strong foundation for future success in school. These programs help kids develop critical thinking, problem-solving, and the ability to work well with others—skills that are essential in school and life.

​

​

​

Rationale for the Transition

​

1. Enhanced Learning Experiences

Multi-age classrooms create an enriching environment where younger children learn from older peers, fostering mentorship and collaborative learning.

• Improved Academic Readiness

Research supports the benefits of early education programs in enhancing literacy, numeracy, and critical thinking skills. This model ensures that all students receive ample preparation for the transition to kindergarten.

3. Support for Diverse Learning Needs

A multi-age setting allows educators to differentiate instruction based on individual student needs, fostering inclusivity and personalized learning experiences.

4. Benefits to Families and Community

Provides a structured and reliable schedule that aligns better with family needs. Reduces child care concerns by offering extended learning opportunities for all Kindergarten bound 4 year olds. Strengthens community engagement by fostering relationships among students, families, and educators.

​

​

​

​

Proposed PFA Model

​

• Still 40 PFA spots
• 2 Classrooms
• (1) Teacher & (1) Teacher Assistant in each classroom
• 20 students per classroom
• Multi-Age Classes: 3,4,5 yr olds
• Inclusive Classes - blend of ML students, IEP students and General Education students

​

• How will this look?
• Morning will be PFA - Grant funded
• 8:15am - 11:00am
• 2 hours 45 minutes
• Afternoon will be District funded
• 11:00am - 3:30pm
• 4 hours 30 minutes

​

Let’s Take a Closer Look

​

Ultimately, leadership is not about glorious crowning acts. It's about keeping your team focused on a goal and motivated to do their best to achieve it, especially when the stakes are high and the consequences really matter. It is about laying the groundwork for others' success, and then standing back and letting them shine..

​

At the end of the day, you are solely responsible for your success and your failure. And the sooner you realize that, you accept that, and integrate that into your work ethic, you will start being successful. As long as you blame others for the reason you aren't where you want to be, you will always be a failure.

8:15am-11:00am (PFA - Grant funded)

​

• 11:00am dismissal for 3/4 yr old students (students NOT going to Kdg)
• Dismissed by the classroom teachers
• 11:00am lunch for 4 yr old students (students GOING to Kdg)
• Teacher assistants will assist with the lunch transition for those students staying all day

​

11:00am-3:30pm (District Funded)

​

• Nap
• Story - Listening and Comprehension Skills, Concepts of Print
• Literacy Circle/Math Circle
• Small Group/RTI - 1 hour
• Large Motor - 20 mins

​

Focus on Kindergarten Readiness Skills

​

• Letter Recognition
• Concepts of print
• Number & Counting Skills
• Problem Solving
• Fine motor skills
• Build sustained attention
• Focus on Social Emotional skills

2. Recommended approval to accept $17,982.00 from The Universal Service Administrative Company (USAC) to pay 90 percent of our internet costs for the 2025-2026 school year (E-Rate).

​

Presenter: Mr. Eliscu

What is E-Rate?

All cell phone bills have a USAC tax that goes to schools and libraries like Lindop.

​

We apply for this free money yearly and just received notification that USAC will pay 90 percent of our internet costs for next year!

​

E-Rate has paid for our internet, Chromebooks, iPads, networking equipment (3 times since 2011) almost $500,000 in free money!

​

E-Rate is a law passed by congress in 1996 and signed by President Clinton. E-Rate has provided free money/discounted funding since January 1998.

Legislative Issues as of May 14, 2025

​

E-Rate’s future is being challenged at the Supreme Court due to its free money structure.

​

On May 8, the U.S. Senate passed Senate Joint Resolution 7 with a vote of 50-38, which rescinds Hotspots in e-rate. (1 Illinois Senator didn’t vote!)

This resolution was brought by Senator Ted Cruz
