Summary
This bill would require the Department of Education (DOE) to report information quarterly on 3-K and Pre-K applicants, seat capacity, enrollment, and vacancies. This bill would require such information to be disaggregated by seat type and seat setting. Additionally, this bill would require DOE to report on 3-K outreach efforts, including the number of DOE staff assigned to 3-K outreach, the number of households reached by outreach efforts, the total budgeted amount for 3-K outreach, the number of outreach events related to 3-K hosted or attended by DOE staff, and information on the advertising methods used for 3-K outreach. This bill would also require DOE to report on the number and percentage of staff vacancies in each 3-K and pre-K program, disaggregated by staff title.
