U.S. Rep. Steve Cohen attends Shelby County Pre-K Summit

More Pre-K classes are coming to the Mid-South.

Shelby County Schools and Bartlett City Schools will receive federal grant money to boost Pre-K programs.

SCS says it plans to add 33 classes by 2017. This federal grant only lasts for a year.

But SCS says it’s hunting for more grants to keep the Pre-K programs going.

That news came out of yesterday’s Pre-K Summit here in Memphis.

U.S. Rep. Steve Cohen was among the local, state and federal leaders in attendance.
