The state of Kentucky in the United States will use nearly $8 million from a tobacco settlement agreement to fund early childhood education for children.
On Tuesday, June 28th, Governor Andy Beshear announced the purpose of this settlement fund.
According to a statement released by the Governor's office, this funding comes from the Governor's Office of Early Childhood Education and is separate from the $1.4 million received annually from tobacco settlements.
The governor announced that the new funds will be used to provide developmental screenings for children ages 0 to 3 years old.
