| IL | Signed into law 08/2005 | P-12 | Specifies that grants for preschool educational programs may go both to local districts and to "eligible entities" as defined by the State Board of Education. Gives state board power to determine eligible entities with which local districts may contract to conduct a preschool educational program. Requires preschool grants from the state board to be used to supplement, not supplant, funds received from any other source. Eliminates provision that preschool teachers may hold elementary certificates with kindergarten or preschool experience; baccalaureate degrees in child development, or meet the requirements for supervising a day care center under the Child Care Act of 1969, as amended. (All preschool teachers must henceforth hold an early childhood teaching certificate.) Gives "eligible entities" as defined by the state board the same powers as local districts in terms of evaluating students for school readiness, obtaining consent from students' parents before evaluations are conducted, evaluating the population of preschool children in their communities, and operating early childhood parental training programs.
Eliminates language allowing the state board to apply up to 5% of state appropriations for preschool programs to establish and implement coordinated model programs. Removes model pilot status of early childhood parental training programs. Specifies that grants for operating early childhood parental training programs must be used to supplement, not supplant, funds received from any other source. Makes these grants available through a state board-esatblished grant approval process rather than competitive process. Gives other eligible entities same powers as districts in applying for and administering such programs.
Provides that after July 1, 2006, any parental training services funded through this program shall continue to be funded, subject to appropriation and the meeting of program standards. Requires any additional parental training services to be funded, subject to appropriation, through preschool education grants for families with children ages 3 to 5 and through prevention initiative grants for expecting families and those with children from birth to 3 years of age.
Eliminates pilot status of programs concerning services to at-risk children and their families. Gives state board authority to determine eligible entities for the awarding of such grants. Adds that school districts and other eligible entities receiving such grants must conduct voluntary, intensive, research-based, and comprehensive prevention services, as defined by the State Board of Education, for expecting parents and families with children from birth to age 3 who are at-risk of academic failure. Allows a public school district receiving a grant to subcontract with other eligible entities.
Requires the state board to report to the General Assembly by July 1, 2006 and every 2 years thereafter on the status of the aforementioned programs, including without limitation characteristics of participants, services delivered, program models used, unmet needs, and results of the programs funded.
