In Nov. 2020, voters approved Preschool For All, extending early childhood education across the County. This year alone, the program is serving nearly 700 kids. Recently, @dkafoury and @jvegapederson saw firsthand the impact the program is having for families and providers.⬇️

Due to the extreme heat emergency declarations, we will not turn away anyone riding to and from a cooling shelter who cannot pay fare. On buses, please tell the operator as you come on board that you're heading to a cooling center.
