Last week, Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell and the Seattle Department of Education and Early Learning (DEEL) celebrated the beginning of the 2024-25 school year, marking a milestone for the Seattle Preschool Program (SPP). This year, more than 1,850 children are enrolled in SPP, which is funded by the 2018 Families, Education, Preschool, and Promise (FEPP) Levy. The levy aims to achieve educational equity, close opportunity gaps, and build a brighter economic future for Seattle students.
