Jackson County Schools
In partnership with the Ferst Foundation for Early Literacy and local community organizations, Jackson County Schools has expanded access to early childhood education and family literacy resources for children from birth through third grade. The initiative provides Pre‑K enrollment supports, distributes high‑quality books, hosts literacy workshops, and sustains summer reading programs that serve families with limited resources and English Language Learners. These efforts have increased Pre‑K enrollment significantly and contributed to gains in early literacy and reading proficiency among elementary students. By strengthening family engagement and building community partnerships, Jackson County promotes educational equity and school readiness.
