Update on Early Learning
Challenge Grant
We are eagerly awaiting the news from the U.S. Department of Education on whether New York State has won an Early Learning Challenge Grant. In the meantime, we want to thank all of you for your support and hard work in helping craft what we hope will be a successful proposal.
At the ECAC Membership meeting on December 6th, we were able to personally thank Nicolas Storelli-Castro of SED and Katie Campos of the Governor's Office who jointly coordinated the work. Co-chairs Sherry Cleary and Bob Frawley commended them for their tireless effort to ensure that New York State created an application of which we can all be proud. |
