SB 170 Programs designed to promote educational opportunities.
Introduced by: Linda T. (Toddy) Puller | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
Programs designed to promote educational opportunities. Provides that the guidelines for the at-risk four-year-old preschool program may be differentiated according to the agency delivering the services in order to comply with various federal or state requirements and that the guidelines for the programs delivered by the public schools must require (i) one teacher for any class of nine students or less, (ii) a full-time teacher's aide assigned to the class if the average daily membership in any class exceeds nine students but does not exceed 18 students, and (iii) the maximum class size to be 18 students. Currently, the Department of Education's guidelines require a pupil/teacher ratio of 8/1 and a maximum class size of 18. Pursuant to this provision, the Department may differentiate its service criteria according to the various service providers in order to comply with any relevant federal or state requirements, e.g., Head Start requires a 9/1 ratio and limits the maximum class size to 19 students. Certain provisions of the bill are based on moneys appropriated in the Appropriation Act.
