Programming Documents for Pre-K for SA - The City of San Antonio

f) Inclusion practices: Place children with disabilities in the regular classroom with
appropriate supports and modifications. As much as possible ensure that the
proportion of children on IEPs in an individual classroom mirrors the proportion in
the population (i.e. If 10% of the pre-K population served has an IEP then no more
than 10% of the children in an individual classroom should be on an IEP.) Ensure
that all staff members have appropriate training, demonstrated capacity, and
support to meet all children’s needs.
g) Scheduling options: Provide extended-day and extended-year services and
access child care subsidy dollars. Staff extended-day as a child care center with
staff meeting only those qualifications required by child care licensing. In the
summer, operate at least one pod for at least one month to allow for these
classrooms to be used as practice sites for summer in-service for collaborating
programs.
h) Establishing pre-K advisory councils: Form a pre-K advisory council for each
model center to enhance community partnerships.
