PRE-K EXPANSION - A NJ PRIORITY

MAINTAIN MOMENTUM

In three years, NJ’s state-funded, full-day pre-k has grown from twenty years of only 35 districts to nearly 150 today! Now, there’s $10 million in funding for NEW expansion! Every county – and virtually every Legislative District – has school districts eligible for pre-k expansion. Our goal for the next state budget: funding to reach more than 200 districts in the 2021-2022 school year!

How to
Take Action

Let your school district superintendent and principal(s) know that you want state-funded, full-day pre-k! There’s $10 million in new pre-k expansion funding in the state budget. There are approximately 125 eligible school districts.
