Local Government, PEPG continues to fulfill its core missions:
• provide high-level scientific training for young scholars who can make independent contributions to scholarly research;
• foster a national community of reform-minded scientific researchers; and
• produce path-breaking studies that provide a scientific basis for school reform policy.
Will Congress Reroute the Preschool Juggernaut? Paul Peterson and Chester E. Finn, Jr. talk this week about a bill passed by the House that would send $8 billion to states to boost the quality of preschools and expand the number of preschool spots for disadvantaged children.
