Alert: Urge your Representatives to Support the Early Learning Challenge Fund
Take Action! Visit this page: www.naeyc.org/policy/action
The U.S. House of Representatives is scheduled to take up tomorrow the
Early Learning Challenge Fund, which is Title IV of H.R. 3221. (The
bill primarily deals with student financial aid.) This is an important
opportunity for new resources ($8 billion over 8 years) for grants to
states to improve their systems of quality early learning and
development across all types of programs. The Early Learning
Challenge Fund is paid by savings made in the student financial aid
section of the bill and does not add to the deficit.
You can email your Representative at www.naeyc.org/policy/action
