Each exceeded 96 percent.

In New York City's breakneck effort to offer free preschool to all 4-year olds, officials have banked on teacher training as a key way to ensure that quality keeps up with access. About three years into Mayor Bill de Blasio's signature education policy achievement, the education department and New York University are partnering to study whether that teacher training is doing the trick. One of the first studies of its kind of New York City's high-profile program, the results could be used to fine-tune the city's training programs to increase their impact on student achievement.

Champions of spending on after-school programs got a qualified victory during debate over the House education funding bill for the next fiscal year.

Schools across the state are administering a new, more accurate test to thousands of 5-year-olds as they settle into their kindergarten classrooms this year. How good is your child's preschool? Does it prepare children for kindergarten like it should? Should it continue to receive state money?
