Universal Pre-K Lottery Drawing

The Levittown Public Schools held a Universal Pre-K (UPK) lottery drawing on March 27, 2026, to randomly select 340 applicants from a total of 408 for their UPK program, with an additional 68 applicants placed on a waitlist. The lottery process was conducted using a spinning wheel and included provisions for twins to be selected together. The district noted that due to an expected increase in state funding, a formal Request for Proposals (RFP) process will be required to select program providers, ensuring fairness and transparency in the use of public funds. Tender Garden remains a valued partner in delivering the UPK program, which requires students to attend five hours daily without transportation provided. The meeting focused primarily on the lottery selection process and upcoming procurement steps related to provider selection under the new funding requirements.
