Rep. Pete Aguilar (D-31st District) announced recently that a $42 million federal grant has been awarded to the San Bernardino County Preschool Services Department.
The United States Department of Health and Human Services awarded the county department the funds for the Head Start and Early Head Start programs over the course of five years, spanning from 2015 through 2020.
"I'm happy to announce this significant grant for Head Start programs throughout San Bernardino County. We've seen the differences that Head Start has made in the lives of children across the Inland Empire and our nation, so it's crucial that we continue to invest in our students' future and improve education at every level, from pre-K through college," said Aguilar.
San Bernardino County Director of Preschool Services Diana Alexander added: "We are beyond excited to have been awarded this grant because it enables us to provide comprehensive services to the most vulnerable children and families in our county, and allows us to positively influence a change in the trajectory of their lives for the present and in the years to come."
