Bill Summary
For legislation to support healthy development among preschoolers. Education.
AI Summary
This bill aims to support healthy development among preschoolers. It proposes amending the state's laws to require the Department of Early Education and Care to develop performance standards that limit the use of suspension and expulsion in licensed early education and care programs. The standards would ensure that suspension or expulsion is only used in extraordinary circumstances where there is a documented serious and ongoing threat to the safety of others that cannot be addressed through reasonable program modifications. The standards would also include measures to support children's social, emotional, and behavioral development, reduce disparities in the use of suspension and expulsion, and facilitate referrals for children with intensive needs.
