Funding for a new Early Learning Center in Vallejo is in the books.

The Solano County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday formally approved the $1.87 million in American Rescue Plan Act funds it had directed to go to the center, which will be located at the site of the former Beverly Hills Elementary School.

The board also approved $533,000 in ARPA funding toward programs to reconnect with students who did not graduate during the pandemic and are not engaged in any kind of school or work programs. It is a three-year program.
