Montana State Board of Public Education considers universal preschool standards

The state’s Board of Public Education will hold a hearing this week on adopting preschool standards.

Governor Steve Bullock’s Early Edge proposal http://earlyedge.mt.gov/ would make available, voluntary and high-quality early childhood education to every Montana four-year-old.

Bullock states on his website that he will request a $37 million biennial appropriation from the legislature. That money would go to the school districts in non-competitive grants.
