Preschool Grant Requirements Not as Strict
September 18, 2018
The new iteration of federal preschool grants created under ESSA “offer substantive differences from the legacy program created during the Obama administration,” Christina A. Samuels reports for Education Week. The grant application was released earlier this month, and “gives states the opportunity to apply for a share of $250 million to bolster their preschool programs.” While the original program “set aside some funds for states that were basically starting from scratch,” this new program values ‘collaboration and coordination’ among existing programs.”
