How does funding this <br />program add value to the community? (250 words OR LESS) <br />The Chapel Hill - Carrboro community is one where education is highly valued and <br />where success in school is a priority for our children. Many of our families do not <br />read with their children, a situation that will adversely affect these children and <br />impede their path to academic success. The reasons are varied: from not realizing <br />this is a priority to not knowing how to read themselves. FRP addresses these <br />issues to get our families reading together. <br />x) Describe what would happen if requested funding is not awarded at all or if a reduced <br />allocation is recommended. <br />A reduced allocation would allow for fewer sessions (the cost per session is <br />approximately $250). If funding is not awarded, this program would not go into the <br />low income neighborhoods where families who would benefit most from this literacy <br />initiative live. <br />y) Include any other pertinent information. <br />N/A <br />PROGRAM INFORMATION 1/31/2017 10:54:56 AM Page 20 of 26 <br />
