Moss Point receives grant to expand pre-K program

Moss Point School District has been awarded a $900,000 grant to expand its pre-K program.

The money will be spent over three years from August of this year through the end of the 2027 school year. Each year, the program will be evaluated for completion of services, a performance evaluation and the availability of funds to continue the grant to the second and third years.

The district has had a pre-K program since 2018. The grant will be used to add another classroom.

Additional opportunities will be available in Spring 2025.

Moss Point is one of five districts awarded this grant, which was for districts that did not have an Early Learning Collaborative program.
