 | | With a seed grant of $100,000, the School of Education at the University of California, Davis, along with the university's M.I.N.D. Institute and St. HOPE Public Schools, are poised to establish a preschool with a focus on special needs -- rare in the country for the services it will provide. |
 | | The grant, awarded by the First 5 Sacramento Commission, will be used to hire a planning director for the preschool, targeted to open in the Oak Park neighborhood of Sacramento in fall 2005. |
 | | The collaboration of St. HOPE and UC Davis in this project builds on UC Davis' more than 20-year involvement in the Oak Park neighborhood, including partnerships with Sacramento High School, now a charter school run by St. HOPE, and Father Keith B. Kenny Elementary School. |
