Education Report Released
KENTUCKY....
According to a cost-analysis released Friday by the Prichard Committee for Academic Excellence, every dollar invested to make preschool classes available to more Kentucky children would produce more than $5 in benefits for the state. The study claims that expanding "pre-K" programs would reduce the need for special education courses and help to lower crime and child abuse and neglect rates, while boosting high school graduation and post-secondary education enrollment rates for low-income students. The report was prepared by the University of Kentucky Center for Business and Economic Research for Strong Start Kentucky.
