Description:
In May of 2009, the Michigan State Board of Education adopted an updated and consolidated list of Great Start Readiness Program (GSRP) eligibility risk factors. The list of qualifying risk factors was reduced from 25 factors to 8. Additionally, a new prioritization for enrollment was put in place that prioritized extreme poverty over the other qualifying categories. Because factors 1 and 2 (extremely low-family income and low-family income) are mutually exclusive, the maximum number of risk factors a child could experience is 7. GSRP grantees used this system exclusively during the 2011 - 2012 program year. The information presented in Tables 1 to 6 describe the degree to which children enrolled in the GSRP during the 2011 - 2012 program school year experienced any of the 8 consolidated risk factors that made them eligible for the program.
