Smart Investment. Proven Results. In 2012, San Antonio voters made a smart investment by approving a 1/8-cent sales tax to fund Pre-K 4 SA. Eight years later, the program has provided high-quality early childhood education to thousands of kids and has become a model of success. The reauthorization of the funding will be on the November 3 ballot. Your yes vote will ensure the investment made is protected and that this proven program continues the transformational and meaningful progress to thousands more kids and families.
