The supervisors of the San Mateo County On Tuesday, June 25, the U.S. District Court approved more than $3.3 million in grants to support early childhood education in communities from Daly City to Pescadero.
The grants support The Big Lift, a collective impact collaboration that seeks to increase kindergarten readiness and improve third-grade reading proficiency in targeted school districts.
The Big Lift project is led by three agencies: San Mateo County, the San Mateo County Office of Education, and San Mateo County Libraries, with support from numerous other agencies.
