A Montana legislative committee rejected efforts to include funding for preschool in the state budget over the next two years. That, and another vote, effectively ended the state’s preschool pilot program that lawmakers passed in 2017.

The four Republicans on the committee voted against the proposal Thursday while two Democrats supported it.

An $11 million proposal to continue the existing program also was shot down.
