In addition, States may count other public pre-kindergarten expenditures for up to 20 percent of the States' Matching Funds requirement. In FY 2002, 10 States reported a total of $50.6 million in spending on pre-kindergarten toward their Match requirement (Alabama, Georgia, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Oregon, South Carolina, Texas, Washington, and Wisconsin). In FY 2003, 11 States reported a total of $46.2 million in spending on pre-kindergarten toward their Match requirement (Alabama, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nevada, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Carolina, Texas, Washington, and Wisconsin). In both FY 2002 and FY 2003, these public pre-kindergarten expenditures made up about 5 percent of the Match requirement.
