Tennessee's Voluntary Pre-Kindergarten Program
In a perfect world, state legislators shouldn't have to choose between providing money to expand pre-kindergarten programs or college scholarships. Obviously, both ends of the education spectrum are extremely important for the future of our young people. But if such a choice must be made, pre-kindergarten programs should take priority. Gov. Phil Bredesen wants to use $25 million worth of lottery money to expand a preschool program that teaches kids basic skills needed to read, count, identify shapes and colors and get along with their peers. Children who participate in such programs consistently score better on standardized tests in first grade than children who don't. Thanks to the success of the Tennessee Lottery, the money to expand the program is available. Even after handing out scholarships to 37,000 college students last fall, the lottery still has a large reserve fund. ... [Read More]

Tennessee's Voluntary Pre-Kindergarten Program
NASHVILLE - The governor unrolled legislation Tuesday behind his preschool plan, saying it's possible there may be enough lottery money for both it and an effort to increase college scholarships. Gov. Phil Bredesen wants to use $25 million in lottery proceeds for a prekindergarten program that would allow local schools to voluntarily get involved. Local districts would chip in to help pay for the program at the same rate they are required to pay for K-12 education. Currently, the year-old lottery is funding only scholarships. Some in the Legislature have said they think extra lottery money should go toward increasing the base scholarships from $3,000 to $4,000 and doubling the supplements for needy students to $2,000. The governor said he's aware of the effort and will consider it. "I know that everyone is looking really closely to see if it's possible to do both, and it may well be," Bredesen said at a Nashville elementary school where he was talking about the preschool leg ...
