March 16, 2015 — More than 6,000 Utah children could be using free, at-home preschool prep software next year after Utah lawmakers set aside $1 million last week to expand the program.
Lawmakers invested last year in a five-year run for the computer-based UPSTART kindergarten readiness program. The most recent cash infusion opens the program up for an additional 1,000 students, starting with the 2015-2016 school year.
