Pennsylvania Accountability Block Grant

The Accountability Block Grant Program began in 2004-2005 with an investment of $200 million available to school districts to support any of several proven programs to improve educational achievement of students. Among the many options are three specifically focused on early childhood. The budget for 2005-2006 continues the program at this same funding level.

School districts may establish, maintain, or expand programs that provide:
      1. Quality pre-kindergarten
      2. Full-day kindergarten programs, and/or
      3. Reduced class size in the early grades, kindergarten through 3rd grade.
