“Most significantly, the PSTA applauds the proposed expansion of the governor of early childhood education 4K. In what promises to be a tight budget year, the governor’s proposal to invest $ 48 million in 4K education represents a substantial investment in the academic potential of students across the state. Our association’s legislative agenda requires expanding access to 4K for several years due to a set of research that shows that access to quality early childhood education leads to growth in student performance throughout their K-12 educational journey, ” said a statement from the PSTA. “Likewise, the governor’s proposal to invest $ 100 million in non-recurring funds in instructional materials will pay dividends in the future. Today, many classrooms in our state rely on materials that are terribly out of date, and the approval of the governor’s proposal would provide our teachers with appropriate and better quality instructional resources. “
