For the most children can have a profound, positive impact on their recent version of the guide, please visit www.csba.org. readiness for school and beyond. Recent research has also found that high-quality preschool programs have a positive return on the public’s investment. In spite of this research, almost half of all children in California are not enrolled in preschool programs. In California and across the nation, policymakers and organizations are working to expand access to high-quality preschool programs in an attempt to provide preschool for all children. Many school districts are becoming more involved in building partnerships and providing programs to support preschool-age children. This resource and policy guide has been developed to support local school district and county office of education efforts to expand access to these programs for children in their community. Because each school district, county office and community is unique, this guide was developed with a full range of resources for school leaders, including: • resources to learn more about the research on preschool and the statewide policy development context; • examples of local, statewide and national efforts to expand access to high-quality preschool programs; • strategies for school boards and district leaders to identify and develop local partnerships; • strategies to engage community members in the district’s preschool-related activities; • technical assistance opportunities and financial resources to support preschool programs; • policy development strategies; • sample board policy; and • links to other preschool-related resources.
