500 Legislators Speak Up for Children

In what might be regarded as a timely gift to children, over 500 state legislators from 50 states sent an appeal to the Congressional Budget Committee to invest in early learning.  In its introduction, the appeal states:

"As Democratic and Republican state legislators from across the country, we understand the challenges of balancing budgets while making critical investments that drive economic success for our constituents and states.  We believe that maintaining and expanding high-quality early childhood education is an effective and efficient expenditure even when budgets are tight.  We urge you to make these investments in young children a priority in your deliberations."
