To: The South Carolina State House
Support School Readiness through Full-Day 4K Programs
That's why we created a petition to the South Carolina State House which states, "We, the undersigned, wish to see the passing of Bill 3455 which will allow each school district to offer a full-day 4K program to at-risk children. This will allow the districts to receive funding to implement these programs. The bill enforces quality standards for curriculum and teacher credentials." Will you sign this petition?
Why is this important?
Children who attend full-day 4K programs achieve higher test scores in reading and mathemathics. These children are also more likely to graduate high school and commit less crime as adults. All at-risk chidren in South Carolina deserve the opportunity to attend these programs. Bill 3455 supports the funding of such programs.
