State-Funded Preschool in the Last Frontier: Alaska's Pre-Elementary Grant Program

Alaska's Pre-Elementary Grants provide funding for school districts to design, develop, and expand preschool programs in their communities. This study examined how districts implemented preschool programs as well as the characteristics and outcomes of participating preschool students. We provided coaching to Alaska partnership members and REL Northwest Governing Board members on the study to increase their capacity to understand the study findings and make them actionable.
