UPDATE AT 8:10 P.M.: The Political Action Committee supporting Pre-K for SA declared victory with 227,205 votes (72%) as of 8 p.m.
“This investment will help create more opportunities for children to succeed, support educators and child-care providers,” the PAC said, “and give working families greater access to the early learning opportunities they need.”
Voters will decide Tuesday whether to extend Pre-K 4 SA funding for another 20 years. Proposition A on the Nov. 3 ballot would reauthorize the existing one-eighth-cent sales tax funding the program without increasing the tax rate.
Dr. Sarah Baray, Pre-K 4 SA’s CEO for 10 years, told KSAT thousands of families could be affected.

“We serve 2,000 children directly. We serve another almost 5,000 for our partner providers,” Baray said.
Voters first approved Pre-K 4 SA in 2012 under then-Mayor Julián Castro and renewed funding in 2020.
Beyond its four education centers, Pre-K 4 SA provides professional development for thousands of early childhood educators and partners with nearly 100 childcare providers.
If approved, the extension would support plans to expand infant and toddler care, strengthen partnerships and increase childcare options for families working nights and weekends.
If rejected, current funding would continue until March 2029. Baray said City Council could place the issue before voters again in 2027 or 2028.
