This publication is intended to be used by school districts in California that are in the process of developing district and individual school master plans for restructuring educational programs for kindergarten and grades 1-3. A number of considerations pertinent to development of these master plans are outlined: (1) district- and school-level planning requirements; (2) guide questions and recommendations for revising program organization, curriculum, and instruction; (3) purposes and means of providing for the required parent education component, including clarification of the roles of parents and community in early childhood education and ways of facilitating parent involvement in various aspects of the school program; (4) considerations in formulating policy and programs for health and social services; and (5) suggestions for staff selection, development, and inservice education.
