The superintendent announced preschool enrollment opens April 8 at 8 a.m. and said the district hosts nine preschool-promise slots that are filled by the preschool-promise program (Echo residents get first priority). The superintendent said the district intends to hold a lower in-district registration number initially to avoid overcrowding and will not exceed a temporary cap for the first weeks of school to manage class sizes.
