Early Childhood Program Scholarships
Discussion/Action. A measure directing the County Administrator and County staff to include $10 million in the Pima County budget for Fiscal Year 2021-22 to fund scholarships to wholly or partly cover the cost incurred by parents who wish to enroll their three- or four-year-old child in a high-quality early childhood program. Eligible children will come from families whose income is under 200% of the federal poverty level. These scholarships would be payable only to high-quality early childhood education programs such as those run by public school districts, childcare centers and family home care providers.
