Description:
The Great Start Readiness Program (GSRP) uses a list of seven qualifying risk factors for enrollment into the program. The list of qualifying risk factors was reduced from eight factors to seven risk factors in 2013 with implementation beginning in the 2013-14 program year. Therefore, the maximum number of risk factors a child could experience is now seven. Children below 250 percent of the Federal Poverty Line (FPL) are enrolled starting with the lowest household income quintile. A maximum of 10 percent of children can be enrolled from households above 250 percent of the FPL. For this group of children, a sliding-scale tuition rate is calculated based on family income. This may help to explain why some children are enrolled without any of the seven risk factors. The information presented in Tables 1 through 6 describes the degree to which children enrolled in the GSRP during the 2013-2014 program year experienced any of the seven risk factors that made them eligible for the program.
