between
Capital Area Community Action Agency and Franklin County School District
Purpose
This Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) outlines a collaborative effort between Capital Area
Community Action Agency, Inc., (hereinafter referred to as COMMUNITY ACTION) and the
Franklin County School District (hereinafter referred to as FCSD) to provide high quality

Learning Standards as appropriate and requirements and expectations of the Franklin County
School District and the Head Start Act Section 641A (g).

The foundation of this MOA is a commitment to the philosophy that no child can be educated in
isolation of his or her family, and no single program can make lasting changes without the
support and involvement of the childs community and the programs that operate within the
community.
School Readiness
School Readiness Goals define the measurable expectations of childrens status and progress
across domains of Physical Development & Health, Social & Emotional Development, Approaches
to Learning, Language Development, Literacy, Mathematics, Science , Creative Arts Expression,
Logic & Reasoning, Social Studies and English Language Development that will improve their
readiness for kindergarten.
