Kid Politics

SCHIP (State Children’s Health Insurance Program) passed in the House and is now on to the Senate where it will hopefully get more than the 60 votes needed to override the President's veto. If we care about poor kids, this political battle is one worth paying attention to.

So too is the debate over pre-k- who needs it, who pays for it, and how to design it. Education Sector is hosting an event on this with David Kirp and Joan Lombardi tomorrow evening (space limited so rsvp). Kojo Nnambi also covers the preschool issue today with Kirp, Libby Doggett of Pre-K Now and Gail Bjorklund of Fairfax County Office for Children.
