Success is a lot like science.
The Schott Center for Public and Early Education s focus is to ensure high quality child care and outstanding public education for all children. The Schott Center, a public foundation created in 1999, is an outgrowth of the Caroline and Sigmund Schott Foundation s ongoing work in education and child care. The Schott Center is working to, within this decade, have the topics of educational excellence and equity become predominant at all levels of the national debate about school-age and early education reform. In order to achieve this goal, the Center strongly believes that a statewide broad-based constituency is needed to develop and advocate for passage of legislation, including engaging early education providers from a diverse and representative range of communities as well as opinion leaders. Fair Funding By supporting the work of advocates in New York, the Schott Center anticipates that by 2005, there will be a new funding formula in New York State that ensures every child is educated in a school that has the resources and expertise necessary to enable virtually all to be granted a high school diploma under the Board of Regent s new high achievement standards.
