History of Funding for First Class, Alabama's State Funded Pre-k Program
ASRA has joined efforts of advocates and leaders throughout Alabama
to advocate for increased funding for First Class, Alabama's state funded pre-k program
so that more of Alabama's 4 year olds have access to high quality pre-k. In the four years ASRA has existed, funding for Alabama's state funded pre-k program has more than tripled.
