NOTE: Costs are calculated including data from 2005 to 2014 for capacity and implementation of ParentCorps in a large school (72 students per year; 4 classrooms). The costs below include capacity building and implementation. Capacity building costs includes ParentCorps FUNdamentals, and Training and Coaching for high-quality ParentCorps program implementation. Implementation assumes 2 series of the Parenting Programs in the first year (1 program delivered during the school day and 1 program during after-school hours with a parallel program for pre-k students) and 3 series in the second year and beyond (2 programs during the school day and 1 program during after-school hours). Each program serves 15 to 20 families. Implementation costs include materials, meals and school staff time for after-school programming and coaching. Implementation costs in year three and beyond are consistent with year two with the exception of reduced coaching time and costs
