Extractions: NOTE: You must have javascript enabled to use this site! Governing Board Governing Board and Superintendent Archive Board News Vernon E. Jacobs April 26, 2004 - As superintendent of the Glendale Union High School District, I support Governor Janet Napolitano's proposal for a statewide full-day kindergarten program. My responsibility is to oversee the education of students, grades 9 through 12, in nine public high schools and two alternative schools located in Glendale and Phoenix. I am sure that there are those who would wonder why a high school superintendent would become involved in pushing for such legislation. What could it possibly mean for us? Let me assure you that high school educators believe that early childhood education and intervention strategies are critical for the future success of students as they progress through the grades. Children must already have a solid foundation of life experiences and knowledge of the basics of reading, math and writing at the onset of formal schooling in the first grade. Without this foundation, young children are doomed to be perpetually 'behind' in their academic growth and will have reduced self-esteem that will carry into the secondary and adult years.
