This program is intended to improve kindergarten readiness and subsequent academic achievement for educationally disadvantaged children. (2) To be eligible to receive funding under this section, an intermediate district must contain at least 1 district that is either a member of a community engagement advisory committee in partnership with the department of treasury or that meets all of the following: (a) Assessed at least 10 third grade students in 2018-2019 on the third grade English language arts portion of the state assessment, as determined by the department. (b) Had more than 75 percent of assessed third grade students identified as not meeting proficiency on the English language arts portion of the 2018-2019 state assessment, as determined by the department. (c) Had more than 75 percent of pupil membership in 2018-2019 identified as economically disadvantaged as defined in section 31a. (d) Is in a city with a population greater than 500,000. (3) To receive funding under this section, an intermediate district eligible to receive funds under this section shall submit an application for the funding to the department, in a form and manner prescribed by the department by a date specified by the department. The application must, at a minimum, contain the number of eligible children the intermediate district is requesting to serve and the number of eligible children the intermediate district has the capacity to serve under this section, including a verification of physical facility and staff resource capacity. Eligible intermediate districts are encouraged to collaborate with local governments to identify children eligible for funding under this section. Payments to eligible intermediate districts under this section must not exceed an amount that the intermediate district has requested and has the capacity to serve. (4) Eligible intermediate districts must receive an amount not to exceed $7,400.00 per eligible child enrolled and participating in a full-day program provided under this section. If a child is enrolled and participating in a program under this section on less than a full-day basis, the department shall prorate the allocation under this subsection based on the proportion of a full-day program in which the child is enrolled and participating. Eligible intermediate districts receiving funding under this section may contract with local governments to provide services, subject to the program requirements described in subsections (6) and (7). If the total amount requested by all intermediate school districts is not sufficient to fully fund all eligible children for which intermediate districts have the capacity to serve, the number of children receiving funding under this section must be prorated on an equal percentage basis. (5) For an intermediate district to receive funding under this section for a participating child, all of the following must be met: (a) The child must be at least 4, but less than 5, years of age as of September 1 of the school year in which the program is offered. (b) The child’s district of residence must be a district meeting the requirements described in subsection (2) and the district of residence must be a constituent district of the intermediate district receiving funding. (c) The child must not be enrolled in programs funded under section 32d, the head start program, or a developmental kindergarten program. (6) Funding under this section must be used for educational programming that prepares eligible children for success in school and includes all of the following: (a) Participation in a collaborative recruitment and enrollment process to assure that each child is enrolled in programming most appropriate to his or her needs and to maximize the use of federal, state, and local funds. (b) Age-appropriate educational curriculum that is in compliance with the early childhood standards of quality for prekindergarten children adopted by the state board. (c) Nutritional services for all program participants supported by federal, state, and local resources as applicable. (d) Physical and dental health and developmental screening services for all program participants. (e) Referral services for families of program participants to community social service agencies, including mental health services, as appropriate. (f) Active and continuous involvement of the parents or guardians of the program participants. (7) Programs receiving funding under this section must follow the same child health, child safety, child well-being, educator qualification standards, and student-ratio requirements as the great start readiness programs funded under sections 32d and 39, as determined by the department. (8) If the total amount for which eligible intermediate districts are awarded under this section is less than the amount allocated under subsection (1), any remaining funds that were allocated under this section must be distributed to intermediate districts receiving funding under section 32d, pursuant to the formula under section 39. (9) As used in this section: (a) "District" means a local school district, as that term is defined in section 6 of the revised school code, MCL 380.6.
