Votes Count: Legislative Action on Pre-K Fiscal Year 2007

At the same time, more states than ever before – 31 and the District of Columbia – increased their financial commitments to early education. Over the past two years state pre-k investments have grown by more than $1 billion.

Even more promising are the trends toward access for all three and four year olds and toward improved quality. The message of FY07 is that pre-k is here to stay because it pays bona fide dividends to states, to schools, and, most importantly, to children.
