Pre-k parsimony

Pre-K schools: Funds too low

The Policy Group for Florida's Families and Children estimates it would cost $3,862 per student to create a "high quality" program.

"What (Bush) is talking about is a voucher slot that just pays for a child's seat," Gellens said.

Danny Morris, president of the Florida Association for Child Care Management, said he told lawmakers that $2,700 per student was the minimum to operate the program.

But $2,500, he said, is close enough.
