During the March 26 Board Meeting, Dallas ISD trustees unanimously approved tuition-free pre-K for three- and four-year-old students.
Currently, the district offers free pre-K to students who qualify under federal, state, and district guidelines, while other families pay tuition. Under the newly approved policy, the district will eliminate tuition for students who do not meet those qualifications—expanding access to early learning for more families.
“It’s a great idea,” said Dallas ISD Trustee Dan Micciche during the board briefing. “I think it’s innovative and a good thing to do, and certainly our results have shown that.”
Pre-K registration for the 2026–2027 school year opens April 1.
