Hearing on An Act Relative to Early Education and Care
The Education Committee held a hearing on An Act Relative to Early Education and Care (H.3776) on April 10, 2007 at the State House. Dr. Dana Mohler-Faria, Special Advisor for Education to Governor Patrick, testified in favor of H.3776 at the hearing. The Campaign expects further action on the bill during the 2007-2008 legislative session.
An Act Relative to Early Education and Care re-filed
An Act Relative to Early Education and Care (H.3776),
the landmark legislation formally defining the Massachusetts Universal
Pre-Kindergarten Program (MA UPK), originally established under the Acts of 2005, was unanimously passed by the Massachusetts
Legislature last year. However, this bill was vetoed by former Governor Romney
last August, after the legislative session ended, leaving no time for
the Legislature to override his veto.
EEA is delighted that Senator Robert
Antonioni and Representative Patricia Haddad, Co-chairs of the Legislature’s
Joint Education Committee, have re-filed An Act Relative to Early
Education and Care. The
content of the re-filed bill will remain the same, but the bill must
go through the entire legislative process once again. EEA will keep you
updated each step of the process.
