Reinstate Even Start so our nation's neediest families can stop intergenerational poverty and low literacy.
Why is this important?
Families across NYS lost pre-school and adult literacy education when Even Start was cut. Without Even Start, families with parents getting their GEDs and children learning to read and write in a quality pre-school classroom environment have come to a standstill. There is no preschool, parents can't get to parent-teacher or special ed conferences at their regular schools, and the parents still do not have their GEDs.
