What approach should the state take to early childhood education?
Background
The state is debating whether to expand access to early childhood education programs. Supporters argue it would improve long-term academic outcomes and reduce achievement gaps. Opponents worry about the cost and argue it should be the responsibility of local governments or private providers.
Options
- Expand state-funded early childhood education programs statewide
- Provide state grants to local governments to expand programs as needed
- Focus on private partnerships to expand early childhood education access
- Maintain current state policies without expanding programs
