State-Funded Preschool in the Last Frontier: Alaska's Pre-Elementary Grant Program. Study Snapshot. REL 2021-093
Regional Educational Laboratory Northwest
This Study Snapshot highlights key findings from a study looking at implementation of Pre-Elementary Grant (PEG) programs, the characteristics of PEG districts and the students served, and the student outcomes related to participating in state-funded preschool, including participating in a PEG program. Data sources included documents submitted by PEG districts to the Alaska Department of Education & Early Development (DEED), interviews with PEG district program directors, and DEED administrative data. The analyses also examined the relationship between participating in state-funded preschool programs in 2013/14, 2014/15, and 2015/16 and student outcomes. The study findings have important implications for Alaska's effort to expand preschool and might also be of interest to other predominantly rural states that are considering similar efforts.
