Bill Summary
Relative to early education funding. Education.
AI Summary
This bill aims to increase funding for early education in Massachusetts. It does this by allocating 1.75% of the state's sales tax revenue to the Department of Early Education and Care (DEEC) for the purpose of providing compensation commensurate with qualifications to early childhood educators and providers. This program will be known as the "early educator rewards program." The bill also establishes criteria for determining provider eligibility, such as core competencies, professional development opportunities, and a career ladder, and requires the DEEC to compensate eligible providers that have achieved higher ratings in the state's Quality Rating and Improvement System (QRIS) at a greater rate than those with lower ratings.
