DPA Statement on Pre-K Funding

LITTLE ROCK – Today, Vincent Insalaco, chairman of the Democratic Party of Arkansas, released the following statement:

“Republican House Speaker Jeremy Gillam’s comment on education spending was disgraceful and insensitive. As Arkansas’s parents and grandparents know, the top priority of any family is the education and wellbeing of its next generation. Educating Arkansas’s four and five-year-olds is the responsible thing to do.”

“While the Speaker cannot find more funding to educate Arkansas’s children, he has found state funds to drug test welfare recipients, money to track gifts to legislators online, and funds to increase legislator pay. But the money dedicated to public pre-k has remained stagnate. Yesterday’s party-line vote on a measure to increase pre-k funding by $10 million a year speaks volumes on how little value Republicans place on public early childhood education.”

“Arkansas Democrats believe every child deserves a world-class education. Study after study has confirmed the positive benefits early childhood education for both students and their community. House Speaker Gillam and his caucus should put the education of Arkansas’s children first.”
