Early Learning Budget Faces Major
Shortfall While the Governor develops his budget
proposal for 2010-11, early childhood advocates
should be aware that a very large funding gap is in
the offing for Voluntary Pre-Kindergarten (VPK) and
School Readiness programs. In fact, the legislature
must potentially find $146.8 million of general
revenue to cover the gap created by VPK growth and
last year's move to replace general revenue with
non-recurring stimulus funds. The breakdown on
various line items is outlined here.
