Bill > S2723

This bill establishes a special commission on two-generation approaches to childhood education. The commission will study and make recommendations on implementing two-generation systems in the Commonwealth, which focus on creating opportunities and addressing the needs of both vulnerable parents and children together. The commission will consist of various state officials and representatives from community organizations, research institutions, and other stakeholders. The commission's responsibilities include reviewing best practices from other states, developing a two-generational school and employment readiness plan, identifying resources to fund two-generation approaches, and making recommendations to measure and evaluate progress for both children and parents. The commission is required to report its findings and any necessary legislative or regulatory changes to the state legislature and governor within one year of the bill's effective date.
