Relative to Preschool for All in California.
AI Summary
This Joint Resolution, titled "State preschool programs: early learning" and also known as "Preschool for All in California," urges the U.S. Congress to increase federal funding for preschool and early learning programs, aligning with President Obama's budget proposal. It also calls on California's Superintendent of Public Instruction to develop a plan to make the state eligible for future federal funding increases in this area. The resolution emphasizes the significant benefits of high-quality early education, citing research that shows a strong return on investment through improved academic outcomes, increased economic opportunity, and reduced societal costs, and highlights the existing achievement gap in California that begins before children enter kindergarten. Finally, it directs the Chief Clerk of the Assembly to send copies of this resolution to various federal officials, including the President and Vice President, congressional leaders, and California's representatives in Congress.
