Tax shortfall means cut in Denver preschool tuition aid - The Denver Post


Tax shortfall means cut in Denver preschool tuition aid - The Denver Post:

"A tax-supported program that helps Denver families pay for preschool will cut its tuition reimbursements by 25 percent next fall — another victim of the economy.

The move could affect the growing enrollment of Denver Public Schools and, ultimately, future student achievement, education officials say.

Early-childhood education advocates also fear greater cuts to the statewide Colorado Preschool Program that pays for preschool for the state's neediest children."
