					<description><![CDATA[Looking for a nurturing, engaging preschool program for your 2- or 3-year-old? San Carlos School District’s Early Learning Preschool Program is enrolling for next year!

Our play-based early learning programs help young children build confidence, friendships, independence, and the foundational skills they need for a successful transition to school.

We offer preschool programs at all four SCSD elementary campuses — Arundel, Brittan Acres, Heather, and White Oaks — with several program options to fit the needs of our families. Attending preschool on an elementary campus is also a wonderful way for children and families to become part of their future school community and start building friendships early.

FREE Preschool May Be Available!
State-funded preschool spaces are currently available at Arundel Elementary School for eligible families. For example, a family of four earning up to $127,338 annually may qualify for FREE preschool — and our team can help you determine your eligibility.

Tours start THIS WEEK! Sign up HERE

Check out our new website and learn more today!]]></description>

				<title><![CDATA[Measure K Parcel Tax Information]]></title>
				<link>http://scearlylearning.scsdk8.org/apps/news/article/2242490</link>
				<guid isPermaLink="true">http://scearlylearning.scsdk8.org/apps/news/article/2242490</guid>
					<description><![CDATA[The San Carlos School Board placed Measure K on the November 3rd ballot. The cost to local property owners could be $489 a year or $40.75 a month. State funding alone is unable to provide SCSD with sufficient funds to maintain the district’s high-quality education.

Measure K could support the people and programs that directly serve students, including:
• Teachers and staff
• Core academic programs
• Student support services
• High-quality educational programs and learning opportunities
• Maintaining strong instruction across our schools

Parcel Taxes = People + Programs

Learn more about how local funding supports San Carlos schools and the upcoming Measure K Parcel Tax.]]></description>

				<title><![CDATA[Bonds vs. Parcel Taxes: What’s the difference?]]></title>
				<link>http://scearlylearning.scsdk8.org/apps/news/article/2222230</link>
				<guid isPermaLink="true">http://scearlylearning.scsdk8.org/apps/news/article/2222230</guid>
					<description><![CDATA[Both provide important local funding for San Carlos schools—but they support very different things.

BONDS = BUILDINGS
Bond funding, such as Measure H, supports long-term improvements to school facilities, including classrooms, roofs, windows, HVAC systems and modernization projects.

PARCEL TAXES = PEOPLE + PROGRAMS
Parcel tax funding supports ongoing educational programs and services, including teachers and academic programs that directly support students.

As we look ahead to the upcoming parcel tax renewal, we want our community to understand how local school funding works—and why these two funding sources are not interchangeable.
