Existing law provides that it is the intent of the Legislature that in providing child development programs the Superintendent of Public Instruction give priority to children of families that qualify under applicable federal statutes or regulations as recipients of public assistance and other low-income and disadvantaged families. Existing law authorizes the City and County of San Francisco, until July 1, 2016, and as a pilot project, to develop and implement an individualized county child care subsidy plan, as provided. Existing law requires the Superintendent to administer all California state preschool programs, which include part-day age and developmentally appropriate programs for 3- and 4-year-old children, as provided. Existing law provides that 3- and 4-year-old children are eligible for the state part-day preschool program if the family meets one of several eligibility requirements, including income eligibility. This bill would authorize the Alum Rock Union Elementary School District, located in the County of Santa Clara, and a preschool program, as defined, as a pilot project until June 30, 2021, to develop and implement an individualized eligibility part-day preschool plan for children residing in the school district for purposes of attending a preschool program in the school district. The bill would require the school district and the preschool program to consult with the Santa Clara County Office of Education and First 5 Santa Clara County in developing the plan. The bill would require the plan to include specified elements. The bill would establish certain requirements relating to eligibility and age of preschool program participation. The bill would require the plan, and any modifications to the plan, to be submitted to, and approved by, the governing board of the school district. The bill would require the governing board of the school district, upon approval, to submit the plan or modifications to the Early Education and Support Division of the State Department of Education for approval, as provided. The bill would require the school district and the preschool program to submit an annual report to the Legislature and the department, as provided, and an additional report on or before December 31, 2020, that provides recommendations as to whether the pilot project should continue as a permanent program. The bill would provide that no additional state funds shall be appropriated for purposes of implementing the above provisions. This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to the necessity for special legislation. This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.
