Take Action!
The Senate budget bill includes a $10 million increase for Michigan's Great Start Readiness Program - take Action and contact your legislators and urge them to support the Senate-passed $10 million increase and to set-aside at least 20% of the new money to support young children from birth through age three and their families.
Funding for before- and after-school pilot programs is up for debate as a result of differences between the House and Senate bills - the House reinstated $5 million for the programs, but the Senate failed to include any funding. Take Action and ask your legislators to support the House funding for extended learning opportunities!
