Endorse Ready for School

High quality early education programs, like Head Start, are proven to help close the achievement gap between children in poverty and their more affluent peers. Yet 40% of kids who are eligible for this comprehensive program can’t get in because of funding shortfalls.

By endorsing the Ready for School campaign, you send a strong message to our legislators that these at-risk children deserve the chance to get off to a strong start in school and life.

I support the Ready for School campaign and its goal to increase access to high quality pre-kindergarten for economically disadvantaged children. As a critical step toward achieving this goal, I support fully funding Oregon Head Start Prekindergarten (OPK) -- a program proven to close the achievement gap for children in poverty.
