2024-25 Pre-K Program
The East Greenbush Central School District will be expanding its universal pre-k program for next school year, increasing the number of slots from 97 in 2023-24 to 165 in 2024-25.
The increase in capacity was made possible by approving additional universal pre-k classes at community service providers at no additional cost to the district. Each of the providers will be paid $5,400 per student by the district, and the district will be fully reimbursed through NYS UPK State Aid.
