Massachusetts S317 aims to expand access to high-quality, full-day prekindergarten programs.
Massachusetts S317 seeks to expand access to high-quality, full-day prekindergarten programs by requiring school districts to submit plans for ongoing early education access. The bill mandates the Department of Early Education and Care to develop and administer a grant program for phased development of high-quality, district-wide, full-day pre-kindergarten programs. It sets criteria for grant applicants, including a child-to-instructor ratio, teacher qualifications, and class size.
