Bill Summary
Relative to universal pre-kindergarten education in gateway municipalities. Education.
AI Summary
This bill establishes a universal pre-kindergarten education program in "gateway municipalities" (a term defined in state law) in Massachusetts. The program would be available to all 4-year-old (and potentially 3-year-old) children residing in these municipalities who are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. The bill requires the state's education board and department to develop a standardized curriculum, partner with existing pre-K providers, and focus on the specific needs of children in each gateway community. Children who participate in the program will be counted as students of the school district where they attend, for the purpose of calculating that district's state funding.
