The trip highlights the state’s “unprecedented investments to expand opportunities for every child,” according to a release from the governor’s office.

The governor hinted at the package in the state’s budget plan back in May. Part of the money will go to incrementally provide free pre-kindergarten for all 4-year-olds starting next year. The plan also invests $10 million to expand dual language immersion programs and has $1.9 billion to seed up to $1,500 in college savings accounts for low-income students, English learners and foster and homeless youth.
