What happened
A former public health officer discussed Measure P, a childcare initiative planned for the November ballot, citing research by James Heckman. Heckman's findings indicate that investing in universal high-quality childcare saves tax dollars over time. The research also suggests that childcare increases high school graduation rates and employment.
