Texas has introduced a private pre-K voucher program offering up to $10,800 per year, but eligibility is limited to families already qualifying for free public pre-K, making it unlikely to significantly expand access or affordability for early childhood education across the state.
The Secretary of the Alabama Department of Early Childhood Education, Barbara Cooper, has resigned after Governor Kay Ivey's administration discovered the contents of a pre-K educator resource book that was deemed "woke" and "divisive." The book, titled National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) Developmentally Appropriate Practice Book, 4th Edition, contained ideas that perpetuate systems of white privilege and structural racism, which the Ivey administration and the people of Alabama do not believe should be used to influence school children, let alone four-year-olds. Dr. Jan Hume will serve as interim secretary.
