| OH | Signed into law 07/2009 | P-12 | Partially from DOE summary of H.B. 1:
Continues the GRF-funded early childhood education program at school districts, joint vocational school districts or educational service centers for children at least three years old as of the district entry date for kindergarten (except that children with an IEP where the early childhood education program is the least restrictive environment may be enrolled on their third birthday), not eligible for kindergarten, and whose families earn not more than 200% of the federal poverty guidelines. Requires providers to develop a sliding fee scale based on family income, for families that earn more than 200% of the federal poverty guidelines.
To receive state funding, an early childhood education program must:
(1) Meet teacher qualification requirements applicable to early childhood education programs
(2) Align its curriculum to the department of education's early learning content standards
(3) Comply with any child or program assessment requirements prescribed by the department
(4) Require teachers, except those working toward an associate's or bachelor's degree in a related field, to attend at least 20 hours of professional development every two years
(5) Document and report child progress
(6) Meet and report compliance with the department's early learning program guidelines.
Authorizes the department to examine a provider's financial and program records. Provides that if the program's financial practices are not in keeping with standard accounting principles or do not meet specified financial standards, or if the program fails to substantially meet the early learning program guidelines or exhibits below average performance as measured against the guidelines, the early childhood education program must propose and implement a department-approved corrective action plan, which must include a schedule for monitoring by the department. Defines activities that may be categorized under "monitoring". Authorizes the department to withhold funding pending corrective action. Provides that if an early childhood education program fails to satisfactorily complete a corrective action plan, the department may deny expansion funding to the program or withdraw all or part of the program's funding and establish a new eligible provider through a department-determined selection process.
