An analysis of 2017-18 state appropriations for pre-K in all 50 states and the District of Columbia shows continuing support from both republican and democratic governors, legislators and state boards of education. In 2017-18, 28 states increased funding levels for pre-K programs; and overall, state funding for pre-K programs increased by $256 million, or 3.42 percent, over the previous fiscal year. While states continue their investment in pre-K programs, the year-over-year increase from 2016-17 to 2017-18 is the smallest one-year increase since 2012, the year Education Commission of the States began producing this report.
