What’s in it

This bill modifies provisions relating to programs for at-risk children. The bill provides that moneys appropriated to the department of education and allocated to area education agencies to provide assistance to school districts in developing program plans and budgets to meet early childhood education needs may also be used by the area education agencies to provide the same assistance to child development programs that receive state funds through the child development coordinating council. The bill also eliminates outdated language relating to grant awards the child development council may make to school district programs for three-to-five-year-old at-risk children. The stricken language provides that the programs must be a combination of preschool and full-day kindergarten.
