Program eligibility is determined locally, based on risk factors such as poverty, homelessness, having parents with limited education, family unemployment, parental incarceration, or limited English proficiency. Funds for the Virginia Preschool Initiative are distributed directly to public school districts and local departments of social services, which both may subcontract with Head Start or private child care centers to provide services. Any community receiving funding for the program is required to contribute matching funds based on a local composite index of district resources. Programs choosing to operate on a half-day schedule receive 50 percent of the full-day funding allocation. Funding allocations were increased in the 2004-2005 school year to serve 90 percent of at-risk children not served in other preschool programs. For the 2006-2007 school year, the state increased per-pupil funding to provide services to all at-risk 4-year-olds. The per-pupil rate will increase again starting in the 2008-2009 program year due to an additional $22 million allocated to support the Virginia Preschool Initiative over the biennium. Beginning with the 2007-2008 program year, all programs are required to follow the newly revised early learning standards, which were expanded to include science, history, social science, personal and social development, and physical and motor standards.
