March 31, 2008

Many dedicated preschool advocates woke up early today for the NSBA’s Pre-K Legislative Committee networking breakfast. These are school board members who signed up to join the Committee last October and are committed to be advocates to lobby for more federal investments in voluntary pre-k programs across the country. The Committee is part of NSBA’s advocacy programs in response to the increasing awareness that quality pre-k programs have long lasting positive effects on children’s development . This year, the Committee is geared up to respond to potential actions in Congress that would help states advance their pre-k programs or establish new programs. NSBA will host an online conference on pre-k messaging for the Committee members in April. For more information on the Committee and pre-k issues, check out www.nsba.org/prekcommittee and www.centerforpubliceducation.org.
