Setting the Stage for Universal Preschool

Virtual Event

May 12, 2022 · 11:00 am - 12:00 pm

ONLINE-ONLY EVENT

About the Program

As the state expands its Transitional Kindergarten program, one key issue is whether access will be equitable. PPIC researcher Emmanuel Prunty will present findings from a new report examining current participation in the program across diverse student groups and districts, and a panel of experts will discuss ways to ensure an equitable expansion toward the goal of closing gaps in school readiness.

This research and event are supported with funding from the Sobrato Family Foundation.
