Priority 3: Integrated Preschool Programs
|
We are asking the legislature to remove the threat of charging preschool tuition to magnet school families. This will ensure families continue to have access to integrated magnet schools and to high-quality early childhood programming.
Why Integrated Preschool?
Early childhood education is essential to making sure that all students enter kindergarten ready to learn. The strong foundation that early childhood programs give children has been proven to increase academic achievement in the higher grades. These programs are valuable to our community, because we know that if a child comes to a magnet school in preschool, they will be reading on grade level in grade 3. Every child should have access to a free early-childhood education and we need to reduce barriers for families to access quality magnet schools for their children. |
