Next Steps for Texas Pre-K: A Survey of School Districts' Pre-k Priorities and Challenges

December 1, 2018

In 2018, Texans Care for Children and the Commit Partnership conducted an online survey of Texas school districts to better understand their pre-k priorities and challenges. The survey included several questions about the impact of the Texas Legislature’s 2017 decisions to eliminate funding for the short-lived $118 million per year HighQuality Pre-k Grant Program, as well as the $30 million supplemental pre-k funding, and to require all school districts to meet high-quality pre-k standards outlined in Rider 78.

Philanthropy Advocates was formerly known as the Texas Education Grantmakers Advocacy Consortium (TEGAC) until August 2020. Previously-created resources, documents and blog posts mentioning TEGAC are still provided on this website for your reference.
