This week Congressman Joe Neguse unveiled his “Opportunity for All” Education Agenda to support a fair shot for all students pre-k through college and advance upward mobility for Coloradans. The “Opportunity for All” Agenda was developed from countless conversations with students, teachers, parents, child care workers, schools board members and universities across the 2nd Congressional District to address the challenges faced by Coloradans and ensure every student is offered equal opportunity to succeed. The plan would lower child care costs and enact universal preschool for 3 and 4-year-olds, ensuring every child has access to high-quality early education; address teacher attrition and underfunded special education programs at K-12 schools, and help every college student obtain a college degree that best prepares them for the future. As the father of a three-year-old, Congressman Neguse has seen firsthand the impacts of high-quality early childhood in his own daughter’s life and as a former CU Regent, the Congressman brings years of experience working to make college more affordable and accessible to his work in Congress and to the development of this agenda.
