Granite School District Pre-K Social Impact Bond

The Utah High-Quality Preschool Initiative – Pilot and Longitudinal Research Project In 2010, United Way of Salt Lake (UWSL), Voices for Utah Children (Voices), and Granite School District (GSD) began researching the impact of high-quality preschool on at-risk children in Utah by conducting a longitudinal study of outcomes for low-income children who attended the GSD high-quality preschool program. This study, built on an original evaluation conducted by Utah State University (USU), became the foundation for the PFS feasibility analysis and transaction.
