What’s in it

AI summary The child development coordinating council would lose two of its main responsibilities. It would no longer be required to give advice on things like school lessons, teacher training, and childcare programs. Additionally, the council would no longer be tasked with helping create regional programs for young children who are at risk.1

Read the official explanation

This bill strikes two of the child development coordinating council’s statutory duties: 1) the duty to make recommendations to the department of education and the general assembly regarding early elementary curricula, staff qualifications, and training; child development programs; an at-risk definition; and before and after school child care programs, and 2) the duty to encourage the establishment of regional councils designed to facilitate the development on a regional basis of programs for at-risk three-year and four-year-old children.
