This week, the Chattanooga City Council approved the creation of the city’s Department of Early Learning, which will be run by Karitsa Jones.
“What we know is that healthy starts in life will let you be productive citizens in the long run,” Jones said after the council’s Tuesday meeting. “So what’s a city without productive citizens, what’s a city without a future?”
The department will focus on improving access to pre-K and providing resources for Chattanooga families.
