The Short Story

  • We would love to offer FDK. Who wouldn’t want kids to

have more time with our amazing teachers?

  • We currently cannot host a FDK program that would

meet the themes from the survey responses nor be sustainable.

The Short Story

  • We can collaborate to further align our HDK

programming across the district.

  • We can watch for future space availability / enrollment

decline.

Research

  • 75% of USA students are FDK

○ Range from 92% (HI) to 24% (UT) ○ 70% of Illinois students are FDK ○ Growing interest in FDK in Chicago suburbs ○ FDK = D26, D54, D59, D220, Northbrook ○ HDK = D15, D21 D23, AHSD25, D57

Research

  • Districts that have transitioned to FDK

○ Have space available ○ Charge tuition or impact budget

  • AHSD25 parents have shared that

○ FDK is desired at home schools ○ FDK would be more affordable than child care ○ Teachers are highly regarded

Research

  • FDK students have larger end-of-year gains in reading

and math when compared with HDK.

  • FDK long term achievement benefits are significant for

at-risk learners (low income, EL, developmental delay)

  • AHSD25 teachers would use more time to expand

current topics, not add to the curriculum topics.

Research

  • FDK creates more 1-1 interaction, parent reporting,

planning opportunity, records maintenance.

  • Instructional practices seen more in FDK include child-

initiated activities, more support for individual work, less large group work, more play-based reinforcement

Research

  • FDK gains begin to dissipate in 1st grade
  • FDK gains are completely eliminated by 3rd grade
  • No current measurable long-term achievement benefits

for FDK over HDK for typical learners

  • High school data for AHSD25 students is significant

Survey

  • 1. Do not impact taxes (operational nor building)
  • 2. Ensure ALL students have access (cost and location)
  • 3. Ensure sustainability

Needs

  • Insufficient space for current enrollment
  • Further insufficient space for projected enrollment
  • Insufficient staff for classroom and fine arts/pe
  • Cost prohibitive to budget

○ Tuition would need to cover own child and costs for low-income enrollment
