Multnomah County Tightens Preschool Rules | Portland News
Description
Multnomah County is tightening the reins on its Preschool for All program, implementing new accountability measures to ensure every taxpayer dollar—over $25,000 per seat—actually reaches enrolled kids. With a formalized policy finalized in May, the county now has seven steps to intervene if a preschool site fails to fill 80% of its seats or leaves ten or more spots empty. This move comes amid national scrutiny of preschool programs and local concerns over past mismanagement, including the resignation of a former director. The goal? Make sure every funded seat serves a child, not just a budget line.
