5 Millon For Pre-Kindergarten
They haven't fully funded MAEP (Mississippi Adequate Education Program) ever, but now they want to provide pre-kindergarten to 4 year olds, at tax payer expense.
When legislators convene in January, they will have new opportunities to improve school readiness for kindergartners. Gov. Haley Barbour has proposed a 5 million, three-part early childhood initiative and Superintendent of Education Hank Bounds has proposed pilot state-funded pre-kindergarten programs for 4-year-old children. Both initiatives would improve the accessibility and quality of early care and education in our state.It seems the money would be better spent on the children already in the system. K-12th grade, community colleges and our state universities should not be short changed in order for 4 year olds to go to pre-K. And this is probably the reason why there is a push to fund pre-K
Today more than 60 percent of Mississippi women with children under kindergarten age are in the work force.Why should my tax money go to provide these women with free day care? Men and women who choose to have children should be the ones responsible for caring for them, not the taxpayers of Mississippi.
