Business group praises Gov. Bullock for investment in early education in Montana
Some Montana business leaders praised Gov. Steve Bullock on Monday for his successful efforts to secure funding for early childhood education for the first time.
Bullock recommended that the Legislature spend $2 million as the state’s first appropriation to fund early childhood, pre-kindergarten education. The 2013 Legislature approved a plan that will provide at least $2 million on early childhood education through the Stars to Quality program in the state Department of Public Health and Human Services.
The Montana businessmen are members of America’s Edge http://www.americasedge.org/ , a national nonprofit, nonpartisan organization of business leaders. About 175 Montana business people belong to the group, which they said was the highest total for any state.
