4,200 more pre-K spots for LI's tots
The state doled out $27 million in pre-K funding to Long Island school districts this year either to create a new program or to expand an existing one. Locally, 4,200 new seats opened up. At Howell Road School in Valley Stream on Thursday, parents dropped their kids off for the first day of pre-K. Newsday's Shari Einhorn has the story. Credit: Kendall Rodriguez
