White House allies produce preschool-for-all plan
By PHILIP ELLIOTT
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) -- A think tank with close ties to the White House is outlining a plan to provide preschool for all children within five years.
The Center for American Progress released a road map Thursday for providing pre-kindergarten programs for all 3- and 4-year-olds. For families with younger children, federal subsidies for child care would increase to an average $7,200 per child and the number of students in Early Head Start programs would double.
The proposal's price tag: almost $200 billion over the next 10 years. Eventually, the program would cost almost $25 billion a year.
The Obama administration has signaled that early childhood education will be a priority during the second term.
It's not clear whether President Barack Obama will push a pre-kindergarten plan during Tuesday's State of the Union address.

Moore post office service increases; streets open
May 24, 2013 17:29 GMT
MOORE, Okla. (AP) -- Public agencies in Moore have opened streets to residents and resumed mail delivery to as many addresses as possible.
At a news conference Friday, police said residents in the hardest-hit areas can go back into their neighborhoods without having to deal with police checkpoints. Some road closures may still occur as utility crews work to restore service.
Moore's postmaster said 85 percent of mail delivered from the Moore station is being delivered, and that mail deliveries from the Santa Fe station are up to 95 percent.
For those whose mail is not being delivered, those with ZIP codes 73153 and 73160 can pick up mail at the Airport Finance unit on Air Cargo Road.
Those in ZIP code 73170 can go to the Santa Fe station for their mail.
