Requiring the department of education to report on early childhood education seat availability, outreach, and staff vacancies.

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.
