SPENDING OF CCDF FOR PUBLIC PRE-KINDERGARTEN
According to Federal regulation, States may use public prekindergarten funds for up to 20 percent of the funds serving as MOE. In FY 2004 and FY 2005, 10 States counted a total of $34 million, or about 4 percent of total MOE expenditures on prekindergarten for their MOE requirement (Alabama, Michigan, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, Washington, and Wisconsin).
In addition, States may count other public prekindergarten expenditures for up to 20 percent of the States’ Matching funds requirement. In FY 2004, 11 States reported a total of $41 million in spending on prekindergarten toward their Match requirement ( Alabama, Colorado, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nevada, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Carolina, Texas, and Wisconsin). In FY 2005, eight States reported a total of $38 million in spending on prekindergarten toward their Match requirement (Alabama, Maryland, Michigan, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Carolina, Texas, and Wisconsin). In both FY 2004 and FY 2005, these public prekindergarten expenditures made up about 3 percent of the Match requirement.
