Abstract:

The average cost of pre-school from infancy to kindergarten costs most than a year of tuition at UNC-Chapel Hill. Given this price, which is unreachable for most families of the 70,000 children under the age of five in Mecklenburg County, Commissioner Trevor Fuller proposed providing universal access to early childhood education. The proposal has garnered support from local business leaders and the Charlotte-Mecklenberg Opportunity Task Force.
