Today is the first day that San Antonio will be paying the extra sales tax for the Pre-K 4 SAprogram, and with enrollment for the first two centers beginning in May and classes scheduled to begin in August there are still a lot of questions.
Castro talked about updates on the early childhood education program that is already hiring staff, building learning centers and getting ready for registration. He fielded questions from both opponents and advocates. To one opponent who talked about building on what was already in our education program he replied,
"This was something that was new. It's filling a gap. We found 5700 students citywide that were not getting High-Quality Full Day Pre-K"
