Adams 50 Gets Grant To Explore Pay For Success Financing
Ann Schimke – Chalkbeat Colorado
Adams County School District 50 won a $120,000 grant this month to explore the use of the Pay For Success financing model to expand early childhood programming.
Part of the grant, awarded by the University of Utah’s Policy Innovation Lab, will pay for a new in-house employee to help determine the feasibility of a Pay For Success project in the district. Possible projects, all with the goal of improving kindergarten readiness, include the addition of full-day preschool spots, parent education programs, and home visiting programs.
