JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant says the state is receiving a $10.6 million federal grant for preschool programs.
Bryant announced the grant Wednesday on Twitter. He says it will expand a system developed by his State Early Childhood Advisory Council and the Mississippi Department of Human Services.
The governor says the money will help "maximize parental choice and engagement" with a goal of ensuring children have a smooth transition from child care centers, including Head Start, into public schools.
