The legislation for the Voluntary Pre-K for Tennessee Act of 2005 was passed by both the House and the Senate in May of 2005. This law provides for the use of $25 million in excess lottery dollars to establish quality pre-kindergarten classrooms through a competitive grant process.
Currently, CMCSS offers 20 Pre-K classrooms in the following elementary schools: Liberty, Norman Smith, Minglewood, Barksdale, Byrns Darden, Kenwood, Hazelwood, Moore Magnet, Cumberland Heights, Montgomery Central, St. Bethlehem, West Creek, Woodlawn, Ringgold Elementary Schools and Austin Peay State University's Child Development Center.
