“We are thrilled that our application for Preschool Education Aid Expansion has been approved,” said Acting School Superintendent Dr. Kwame Morton. “This will allow us to reach a  much larger portion of young learners, providing key learning opportunities and helping facilitate their longterm academic success.”

It’s wonderful to think of all the students who will now receive crucial early education, thanks to this funding.”
