NSBA and CPE receive Pew grant on pre-KNSBA and the Center for Public Education (CPE) have received a two-year $448,000 grant from The Pew Charitable Trusts to launch a far-reaching initiative on high-quality pre-kindergarten education. CPE will work in partnership with the state school board associations from Kansas, Ohio, and Texas to inform local school board members, state policymakers, and the general public about the benefits of pre-K education and effective pre-K policies and programs.
The initiative is composed of three parts: making the case for pre-K education; intensifying efforts to generate pre-K awareness in the three partner states; and reaching out broadly to other states and nationally through the NSBA Annual Conference as well as the state association conferences.
The campaign is designed to result in newspaper editorial coverage; a cadre of districts to act as ambassadors on effective pre-K programs; reports disseminated through various NSBA networks; presentations at national and state conferences; large volume research downloads from the CPE Web site; and CPE hosted webinars and discussion groups.
