Gov. Holcomb Signs Bill Expanding Pre-K Pilot Program

This week Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb signed a bill that will expand Indiana’s pre-K pilot program. The $22 million plan will expand state-funded preschool to 20 counties, tie it to the state’s private school voucher program and include an online preschool option. Under the new plan, any of the state’s 92 counties are eligible to compete to become one of the 15 counties included in the expansion. Rural counties and places lacking high-quality preschool providers will be prioritized.
