Pima County

Congratulations, friends, advocates, and supporters of The Preschool Promise!

On 16 February 2021 in a vote of 4-1, the Pima County Board of Supervisors voted to put $10 million into providing high quality early childhood education for Pima County’s kids in the coming year. So many voices came together to make this happen; thanks to every one of you.

Please take a moment to thank the Supervisors who voted “yes’.

District 1, Rex Scott, (520) 724-2738
District 2, Dr. Matt Heinz, (520) 724-8126
District 3, Sharon Bronson, (520) 724-8051
District 5, Adelita Grijalva, (520) 724-8126

It has been a long road, and there’s plenty of work ahead, but this is a fine day for children and families. Today we Celebrate!!!

Stay healthy, stay strong, and make a toast at home!

Postscript from Kelly Griffith

"We will need to remain vigilant and vocal. The final vote on the Pima County Fiscal Year 2021-2022 budget will happen sometime in May. However, it is so very important to take a moment to truly celebrate this incredible accomplishment. Stay tuned, we will keep you up to date as we forge ahead."
