| NE | Signed into law 04/2001 | P-12 | LB 759 changes current law pertaining to early childhood education pilot program grants. The bill provides for an Early Childhood Education Grant Program in lieu of the pilot projects that are currently funded. Programs selected for grants may be provided one-half of the total budget of the program per year. Pilot projects previously funded shall be eligible for continuation grants if their programs adhere to the requirements of the bill. The State Department of Education (NDE) may use up to 5% of the total appropriation for the grant program to evaluate and provide technical assistance to the early childhood education programs. NDE is to develop rules and regulations to implement the program. The state provided $560,000 of general funds in 2000-01 for pilot program grants for early childhood education programs. The bill does not require any additional funding for early childhood education program grants. Section 3 requires preschool programs, established by school boards or educational service units, to be approved by NDE. All teaching and administrative staff who are providing educational services in early childhood education programs are required to have training in early childhood education and have a permit or certificate issued by NDE. NDE indicates this is current practice, so no fiscal impact is estimated for these provisions.
