Wyoming considers federal grant for early childhood education

Wyoming officials plan to compete with other states for federal grant money for early childhood education — if the guidelines match Wyoming values and federal strings aren’t too burdensome.

A letter of intent to apply for a piece of $500 million to be awarded in the Race to the Top Early Learning Challenge was sent from Gov. Matt Mead’s office, the U.S. Department of Education announced Tuesday.

Wyoming joined 35 states and the District of Columbia in submitting letters of intent. The application and award guidelines will be released later this summer, and grants are expected to be awarded no later than Dec. 31.
