Instead of paying the $468 enrollment fee, Corpus Christi ISD will offer the program free of charge to the children of full-time employees this school year.

The Pre-K program will be free to families. The district said parents will be responsible for getting students to and from school each day.

Inside the home of a Romulus family, where Beyond the Bell Pre-K is based, Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer read to kids on Wednesday and stressed support of free pre-k education.
