In this report, Pre-K Now, a campaign of the Pew Center on the States, evaluates gubernatorial proposals to determine which leaders see voluntary, high-quality pre-kindergarten programs as essential. The news is good: The majority of governors are prioritizing pre-k, and though more modest than in recent years, gubernatorial proposals for FY10 still call for increasing state early education investments by almost 4 percent to $5.4 billion, nationally. A chart detailing the FY10 pre-k budget proposals of all 50 governors and the mayor of the District of Columbia and compares them with the final appropriations from FY09 is included. Fourteen governors are recommending nearly $150 million in new investments, and 13 more are proposing to protect current investments by flat funding their state programs. The chart also notes which governors used the unique opportunity afforded by their state of the state addresses to champion pre-k.
