Hi press folks,
Im working on an editorial about the universal prekindergarten program proposed by the de Blasio
administration. I have a few questions:
1. Is $439 million a year the estimated cost of the program?

2. Does that include personnel costs and rent? What about busing?
3. What are the projected start-up costs like renovations, equipment, teacher training,
curriculum development, etc.?
4. Would all the teachers be UFT members?
5. Will all the pre-K classes be part of traditional public elementary schools, or will there be
some in separate space with their own administrations?
6. Is there an existing large-scale municipal pre-K program that could serve as a model for New
York Citys?
7. How long after funding is secured would it take before classes could begin? In other words,
whats the earliest the program could begin?
Please get back to me by the end of the day Wednesday. Thanks.

Defer to implementation team, but if ed writers are comparing a dedicated funding model to
an increase in state funding, May want to share the NIEER excerpt below:
Improving Public Financing for Early Learning Programs
http://nieer.org/resources/policybriefs/24.pdf
Page 22: Financing Universal Prekindergarten in New York and Florida
The experiences of New York and Florida inform any discussion of funding large scale state
pre-K initiatives. New York was one of the earliest states to make universal pre-K a statutory
goal. Yet the state has had considerable difficulty making consistent headway toward
achieving that goal. Florida, on the other hand, rolled out a universal program in a very short
time span that enrolled a relatively high proportion of 4-year-olds but had low program
standards.
New York:
New Yorks Universal Prekindergarten (UPK) initiative began in 1998, the same year
Oklahoma adopted a universal approach. Unlike Oklahoma and Georgia, New York did not
include pre-K in the school funding formula or have a dedicated funding stream for pre-K
such as a lottery. This left the program subject to shifting political priorities in each years
budget allocations process. After an initial period of growth in districts with the most
economically disadvantaged families, UPK was flat-funded from 2002 until 2005. Expansion
into more affluent districts wasl imited. The 2007-2008 budget committed additional funds to
UPK, and a goal was set for universal access by 2011. That year, UPK served 39 percent of
the states 4-year-olds. Since then, UPK has battled for funding.

instructive to look at how far you've come.
Back in August, even before the primary candidates had held an official, televised
debate, the Daily News endorsed Christine Quinn, saying of de Blasio:
Additionally, his call for raising taxes on the wealthy to drum up hundreds of millions
of dollars annually to pay for pre-K education sells well but hasnt a chance at a
time when the next mayor will have to fight like hell just to preserve the status quo
for New Yorkers.
A few weeks later, the New York Times also backed Quinn. It praised de Blasio
mildly, but noted:
Mr. de Blasios most ambitious plans like a powerful new state-city partnership to
make forever-failing city hospitals financially viable, or to pay for universal
prekindergarten and after-school programs through a new tax on the richest New
Yorkers need support in the State Capitol, and look like legislative long shots.
Once a Mayor de Blasio saw his boldest ideas smashed on the rocks of Albany, then
what?
De Blasio's opponents picked up this theme. In their final pre-primary debate, Quinn
said de Blasio's tax plan was dead on arrival at the state capitol, labeling it pie in
the sky. After de Blasio overturned all the handicapping and won the primary on the
first round, Governor Cuomo sat with the Daily News editorial board and, according
to the News, virtually shot down the possibility next year that the state would take
up a de Blasio plan to hike the city tax rate. Cuomo's re-election hopes and/or
designs on the presidency, the thinking went, made it all but impossible for him to
consider a tax hike. Soon, de Blasio's Republican opponent, Joe Lhota, took up the
line of argument that Quinn tried, calling the plan dead on arrival in a debate with
the Democrat. Through it all, de Blasio refused to consider a plan B or negotiate
against [himself].
That seemed like rhetoric at the time. It doesn't now.
Last week, de Blasio convened union leaders in support of the pre-K plan at the
same time as Cuomo held an event to tout a $2 billion package of tax cuts. Some
saw this as the two men taking one step closer toward a real groin-kickin', gravel-inthe-eyes-throwin', beer-bottle-on-the-bar-breakin' street fight over the mayor's tax
plan (which, you have to admit, would make for compelling drama, given their
political history together and the fact that de Blasio's lengthy reach versus Cuomo's
more powerful build create an interesting match-up).
Maybe that fight will still come to occur, but it was interesting that Cuomo's package
of tax cuts addressed property taxes, businesses taxes, estate taxes and so on, but
not the personal income tax, which is what the de Blasio plan would affect. By my
unsophisticated math, if de Blasio's planwhich requires some $500 million a year in
new revenuegoes through and Cuomo gets his other cuts he can still claim to
have cut $1.5 billion in taxes. And hey, it's not like a future Cuomo presidential
campaign is ever going to be able to claim that he transformed New York State into
a low-tax environmentjust that he lessened the overall bite.
What's more, Cuomo's recent tax proposals were clearly aimed more at upstate,
where the economy is worse and Cuomo needs votes more if he is going to
accomplish his perceived goal of trying to eclipse his father's widest electoral margin.
If Cuomo needs anything from downstate in order to achieve a stunning re-election

landslide, it's Democratic turnout, and that's where those unions who've jumped on
the de Blasio UPK bandwagon come in.
Strange things often happen in Albany: Good ideas (see pricing, congestion) die,
bad ideas (see stadium, West Side) die and things once thought politically
impossible (e.g., Mayor Bloomberg securing mayoral control of the schools) actually
occur. De Blasio's plan could still end up in tatters on the lifeless concrete plain of
Empire State Plaza.
But it's valuable to note that the conventional wisdom, which so often narrows the
parameters of political debate, appears to have underestimated the mayor, the
legislature or both. If everybody had listened to the editorial boards, or the governor
or Quinn or Lhota and written off de Blasio's plan and de Blasio, we wouldn't be
here. If de Blasio's first big idea doesn't get smashed on the rocks of Albany, what
then?

looking at some #s on state pre-K plan
Want to start pulling info together for ed writers/columnists/opinion makers and shakers on the
problems w state budget plan re: UPK.
Pls take a look at this analysis below
Here is our
BASIC BACKGROUND:
Mayor de Blasio has proposed a marginal increase in the personal income tax from
3.88% to 4.41% for those New York City residents making $500,000 or more over the
next five years to pay for universal pre-kindergarten and expanded after-school
programs.
In total, the mayors universal full-day pre-k plan calls for $340 million annually over
the next five years, for a total of $1.7 billion for New York City alone. Earlier this
week the mayor released an inter-agency white paper outlining precisely how the
expansion of high-quality pre-kindergarten would be implemented.
Conversely, the state budget proposal released earlier this year calls for just $1.5 billion
over five years -- for the entire state of New York and with only $100 million
designated in the first year of the effort. This pales in comparison to the budget
estimate shared today by State Education Commissioner John King, who pegged the
cost of statewide full-day pre-kindergarten at $1.6 billion every year. The state budget
proposal also includes no additional afterschool funding this year.
It looks like Cuomo's budget increases by $100 million each year, so aside from, how the
question of the sustainability of an extra $500 mill in the budget every year after year 5, here
are numbers reworked --
Cuomos High-Quality, Full-Day Pre-K

NIEER says NYS should be spending $10,131 per pupil for high-quality, full-day pre-K [Source:NIEER
Yearbook, p20]
New York State Department of Ed says there are about 230,000 4-year-olds in NYS [Source:State
Education Dept Pre-K Memo, p4]
The max funding Cuomo gives is $400m extra in years 3, 4, and 5, totaling to $785 million/year or $810
million/year IF the additional $25 million competitive grants from this year continue.
2 Options for presenting numbers:
Cuomo can only cover about 38% of 4-year-olds for full-day, high-quality pre-k with the funding he's
suggesting// Cuomo leaves behind 62% of New York State's 4-year-olds.

$885 million at $10,131 per pupilCovers ~87,355 pupils for full-day, high-quality pre-k (far below the 230,000
4 yr olds in NYS)
$910 million at $10,131 per pupilCovers ~89,823pupils for full-day, high-quality pre-k (far below the 230,000
4 yr olds in NYS)
Cuomo is suggesting about the same amount of funding per pupil for full-day pre-k that NYS currently
spends on mix of half-day and full-day pre-k.
$885 million for 230,000 pupils$3847/pupil (way below $10,131 per pupil)
$910 million for 230,000 pupils$3956/pupil (way below$10,131 per pupil )
We would be spending less per pupil thanNew Jersey ($11,659), Connecticut ($8,388), Pennsylvania
($5,474), North Carolina ($5,160), Michigan ($4,422), California($4,136), Massachusetts ($4,058),
Ohio ($3,980).

Thanks Ishanee
Sorry, one quick fix -- redid numbers based on King's total spending of $1.6 billion.
Not sure if we have any more notes from King's testimony - Mahen couldn't find a transcript or vid yet
Mainly unsure of King's number for total 4 year olds in NYS or expected per pupil spending.

King said universal pre-k in NYS would cost $1.6 billion.
The max funding Cuomo gives is $400m extra in years 3, 4, and 5, totaling to $785 million/year or
$810 million/year IF the additional $25 million competitive grants from this year continue.
$ 1.6 billion total spending/ 230,000 4 year olds = $6,956/pupil
$885 million at $6,596 per pupilCovers ~135,172 pupils for full-day, high-quality pre-k (58% of 4 year olds in
NYS)
NYS)
$885 million for 230,000 pupils$3847/pupil (about 55% of $6,596/pupil according to King)
$910 million for 230,000 pupils$3956/pupil (about 60% of$6,596/pupil according to King)

Just one flag--Lisa has been trying to pry loose stats from the DOE on providers whose contracts
were pulled for fraud/failure. Has been an interest for her, so be careful on that front. Might be
trying to demonstrate that not enough quality providers exist.
Otherwise, yes yes yespls engage!

Lisa Fleischer from WSJ is doing a story on UPK and is interested in
speaking to us about our program expansion, how that came about and
how we were able to expand the program so quickly (finding sites for
program delivery, recruitment, etc.).
I spoke to her for a few minutes and said that she should speak to one of
our program staff members who was directly involved in the expansion
effort. She said that she understands that Josh is on the task force and
may not be able to speak, which may or may not be the case. I thought
Moria might be a good person for this.
Let me know your thoughts. She is looking to speak to someone

tomorrow afternoon. Lisa is someone we have been cultivating so would
be great to connect with her on this.

I'll gladly consider but as you can imagine, I am

also getting resumes from Mayor's office.
If it does not work out here there might other
opportunities at bigger agencies.

I am very sorry, but tomorrow isn't going to work.
Jonathan has had something come up for tomorrow morning and we need to
postpone this. I have a few times Thursday and Friday that would work.
Could we all hop on a call in the morning and get this on the calendar?
Send me your phone numbers and we will reschedule.
Sorry again, thanks for your understanding.

I am very sorry, but tomorrow isn't going to work.
Jonathan has had something come up for tomorrow morning and we need to
postpone this. I have a few times Thursday and Friday that would work.
Could we all hop on a call in the morning and get this on the calendar?
Send me your phone numbers and we will reschedule.

Spoke to Patrick Jenkins. He said he is on top of scheduling working group meeting with Bank Street
but it is slow going. I pressed him on urgency.
I also told him we were really unhappy with the WNYC Schoolbook op-ed from the Bank Street head
start person today questioning the plan. He said he was unaware of it, asked me to send (which I
did) and said he would circle back.

So to clarify, we do not have Pre K sites... that generally falls under DOE or Matt Tepper

Hi David and Emma,
Please see quote from Mayor below. Let us know if you have any questions or need anything else. Thanks!
"From immigrant services to high-speed Internet access and literature programs for our children, our
libraries serve New Yorkers of all ages and backgrounds," said Mayor Bill de Blasio. "The extended hours of
service at Brooklyn Public Libraries across the borough will help increase access to these services for so
many families, and I am proud that my Administration and our City Council made this significant
investment in our City's public libraries."
