During the 2019 General Session, the Legislature passed Senate Bill 166, "School Readiness Amendments," to improve the coordination and alignment of preschool programming. This report is provided to the Education Interim Committee as a summary of an evaluation of and the efficacy of both the high-quality school readiness grant programs. During the 2020-21 school year, both grant programs served a total of 22 preschool programs consisting of 9,276 students with 23% of those students qualifying as eligible students as defined in statute. Overall, students entering kindergarten from high-quality public programs had a higher proportion of students proficient in both Literacy and Numeracy compared to students entering from non-high-quality public programs.
