Take Action Opportunity for Early Childhood Education

Thanks to a reader for sending in the following.  It goes nicely with my recent takeways from my Liberia trip on the need to take more action on influencing our policy makers:

Senator Bob Casey from Pennsylvania has introduced a bill that would reward states for advancing their early learning systems.

S. 470 would provide federal funding to help expand and improve early learning programs in the states. It reflects an understanding of over 50 years of research proving that high-quality early learning programs are very effective at reducing high school drop out rates.

Early support for bills like this can make or break it.
The more people who write in, the more Senate co-sponsors the bill will gain and the more likely it is to ultimately come up for a vote.  Click HERE to support this bill.
