City of Seattle, Office for Education

Request for Proposal

Develop Voluntary Universal Prekindergarten (UPK)

On September 23, 2013, The Seattle City Council unanimously passed the “Preschool for All” Resolution (Resolution 31478), which established the City Council’s goal of making voluntary, high-quality preschool available and affordable to all three- and four-year-old Seattle children. Further, the Resolution charged the City’s Office for Education with the development of an Action Plan to achieve this goal.

The City of Seattle plans to contract with a Consultant to develop an Action Plan, Financial Model, and implementation timeline for the creation of an affordable, voluntary, universally available, high-quality prekindergarten (UPK) program for all three- and four-year-olds in Seattle.
