Governor Patrick

The FY15 state budget season will begin next month when Governor Patrick releases his state budget recommendations. In November, the Board of the Department of Early Education and Care (EEC) approved its FY15 aspirational budget, which includes an increase of $93.7 million. This increased investment is a wise idea that would expand children’s access to early education and care and improve the quality of early learning across the state.

Today, we ask that you take a moment to send a message to Governor Patrick and ask him to prioritize increased investments in high-quality early education.

Despite the growing policy momentum in favor of high-quality early education and care, our elected officials still need to hear from you – the Massachusetts voter – to help turn this momentum into action.
