The announcement came yesterday at the annual NJEA conference in Atlantic City. Murphy said, “This funding will enable more districts to expand their capacity to offer full-day preschool programming to more students, building upon our efforts to provide every 3- and 4-year-old child in our state with access to high-quality pre-K.”

The funds will help create, expand, and renovate facilities in towns like Holmdel, Keyport, and Aberdeen. In Ocean County schools will also receive funding in Manchester and Plumsted.
