READY FOR SCHOOL

Ready for School Achieves a Landmark Victory: Governor signs bill into law increasing Oregon Head Start Funding by $39-million Over the Next Biennium

About Us:
Several of Oregon’s top business, philanthropic and civic leaders have joined together in the Ready for School public awareness campaign to address the future of Oregon’s workforce and the urgent need to adequately prepare children for school and life. Partners include the Children’s Institute, Innovation Partners and Stand for Children.

The campaign’s goal is to make sure all children have access to high quality pre-kindergarten, starting with those most in need. Ready for School is raising public awareness about this critical issue and working to persuade the 2007 State Legislature to fully fund Oregon Head Start Prekindergarten.

Endorse Ready for School and show your support for ensuring ALL children have the opportunity to enter kindergarten healthy and ready to succeed!
