Weaver Wants Cut To Area Early Childhood Education Funding Reversed

Local State Senator Chuck Weaver says he’s well aware of a $2-million hit to area early childhood education programs. He says that information was shared with him earlier this month courtesy Henderson-Mercer-Knox and-Warren County Regional Superintendent Jodi Scott.  Weaver wants to see the decision reversed, but is not sure about a supplemental appropriation.

Locally, the cut would impact at least one classroom at the Mercer County YMCA Children’s School. Weaver hosted a town hall meeting in Aledo this week.
