Indiana lawmakers listened to those Hoosier voices.
In April 2017, the Indiana General Assembly approved an expansion of the state’s On My Way Pre-K program for low-income four-year-olds from five counties up to 20 counties. The annual funding dedicated to helping young Hoosiers get a great educational start grew from $12 million to $22 million. While much more funding is needed to serve the estimated 27,000 low-income Hoosier children who lack access to pre-K, this level of funding is an important milestone for Indiana. |
