Proposition 82 (The Preschool For All Act) (link to PFA Taskforce, Special Projects section of Committee page) sponsored by children’s advocate Rob Reiner and a growing coalition of business, education, labor and early childhood leaders will be on the June 2006 ballot. If passed, Prop. 82 will provide every four-year-old in California with the opportunity to attend a quality preschool program.
