Multnomah County's Preschool for All program has a preschool problem, audit finds

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) – Multnomah County's Preschool for All program is at risk of missing one of its main goals: universal access to preschool in the next five years, according to an audit of the program.

On Wednesday, the county released its audit of Preschool for All, which aims to provide free, inclusive and universal preschool for three- and four-year-olds across the county. Voters approved the program through a 2020 ballot measure -- creating a 1.5% or 3% tax for high-income earners, to support the county's mission.
