| IL | Adopted 06/2012 | P-12 | From Illinois Register: This rulemaking resulted from the State Board of Education's application for funding under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) for a Race to the Top-Early Learning Challenge (RTT-ELC) grant to design and implement early learning and development systems that are comprehensive in scope and coordinated among the various state agencies charged with administering the programs. As set forth in RTT-ELC, the goals of the federal grant program were to increase the number and percentage of low-income and disadvantaged children enrolled in high-quality early learning programs; design and implement an integrated system of high-quality early learning programs and services; and ensure the use of certain nationally recommended assessments.
As a support to the RTT-ELC application, the State Board in October considered a rulemaking to require school districts to administer a kindergarten readiness survey, starting in school year 2014-15. Funding from the federal grant was for the design and implementation of a survey that would be used to gauge a student's progress during the school year. Unfortunately, Illinois was not successful in its effort to win a RTT-ELC
grant.
The lack of federal funding now available for the Illinois Kindergarten Individual Development Survey, or KIDS, initiative has resulted in staff's recommendation that the implementation date for districts to begin administering the kindergarten survey be delayed until the 2015-16 school year, provided state funding is available to pay the cost of the survey's administration. It is anticipated that the limited statewide implementation of the KIDS be conducted during two school years – 2013-14 and 2014-15 – rather than one, and the proposed rule is being modified to note the second year.
Additionally, the agency removed a requirement for school districts to participate either in a pilot of the survey or a limited statewide implementation, to align with a modification to 23 Ill. Adm. Code 235 (Early Childhood Block Grant), effective April 18, 2012.
Finally, the amendments also acknowledge that the Illinois Learning Standards, set forth in Section 1.Appendix D (State Goals for Learning) of the rules, apply to kindergarten. This Section lists the goals and standards for all students, including the common core standards that are for K-12 in English language arts and math. The remaining State-developed goals and standards are the same for kindergarten as they are for other grade levels, with the benchmarks (which are not stated in the rules) specific to the kindergarten level.

| OH | Signed into law 06/2012 | P-12 | Repeals existing requirements providing exceptions to minimum ages for admission to kindergarten or 1st grade. Replaces with provision providing an exception for a child recommended for early admittance in accordance with the district's acceleration policy. Requires a child to be evaluated for early admittance upon referral by the child's parent/guardian, an educator employed by the district, or a preschool educator, pediatrician, or psychologist who knows the child. Provides that after a student has been admitted to kindergarten in a district or nonpublic school, no district to which the student transfers may deny that student admission based on the student's age. Repeals provision that previously allowed a district to, upon parental request, admit to 1st grade a student who had not successfully completed kindergarten and who meets certain age and other criteria. Repeals provisions related to "pupil personnel services committee," which each district was required to establish, and whose sole authority was to issue waivers allowing admittance to the first grade without the successful completion of kindergarten.

| OH | Signed into law 06/2012 | P-12 | Directs the state board and the early childhood advisory council, in consultation with the governor's office of 21st century education, to develop legislative recommendations regarding the state's policies on literacy education for birth through 3rd grade with the goal of increasing kindergarten readiness, K-3 reading proficiency, and increasing school success and college- and career-readiness for Ohio's children. Directs the state board and early childhood advisory council to submit these recommendations no later than February 28, 2013. Requires that the recommendations address (1) alignment of state's policies and resources for reading readiness and proficiency from birth through 3rd grade; (2) identification of birth through kindergarten entry strategies to reduce the kindergarten readiness gap, increase literacy success throughout the K-12 continuum, and increase college- and career-readiness; and (3) recommendations for implementing reading proficiency strategies.

| IL | Adopted 05/2012 | P-12 | From Illinois Register: This rulemaking resulted from the state board's application for funding under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) to design and implement early learning and development systems that are comprehensive in scope and coordinated among the various state agencies charged with administering the programs. The state board served as the lead agency for the application. Agency staff worked with outside consultants, early childhood education advocates and staff from the Department of Human Services (DHS), Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) and the Illinois Early Learning Council to prepare the application. Unfortunately, Illinois was not successful in this effort and did not receive the grant.
The lack of funding now available for the initiatives set forth in Part 235, coupled with the public comment received, have resulted in certain initiatives being removed from the rulemaking or their implementation dates being delayed.
Briefly, the amendments address several significant changes that relate to the core focus areas of the federal grant. In particular, efforts were made to coordinate the state board's Preschool for All Children (PFA) and Prevention Initiative grant programs with those offered through or licensed by DHS or DCFS. In particular, the proposed amendments required any recipient of these grants to use the DHS' Tiered Quality Rating and Improvement System (a requirement that has since been removed from the rulemaking) and continue to require that grantees register certain staff in DHS' Gateways to Opportunity staff registry and credentialing system.
Additionally, a portion of the federal grant was to be used to continue the agency's efforts to develop and implement a kindergarten readiness tool to gauge a student's progress during the school year. Under the rules as proposed any school district that offers kindergarten (whether full or half day) would be required to administer the Kindergarten Individual Development Survey, or KIDS. While this requirement was placed in 23 Ill. Adm. Code 1 (to be adopted later this spring), Section 235.70(o) of early childhood rules had required that all school districts with PFA grants participate in the limited statewide implementation of KIDS in the 2013-14 school year.
Part 235 amendments include expansion of program standards to address initiatives serving children ages 3 to 5 (see Section 235.Appendix B). While developmental guidelines for infants and toddlers have been removed from the rules due to public comment, the existing learning and developmental standards for children ages 3-5 have been updated and now align to the recently adopted Illinois Learning Standards for
English language arts and mathematics, commonly referred to as the common core standards.
Other changes in Part 235 include the following:
• Requesting in Section 235.20(c)(4) that applicants provide information about other similar programs operating in the same service area, including the number of children estimated to be served, if that figure is known
• Setting in Section 235.30(a)(1)(C) minimum criteria for procedures used to assess the progress of children enrolled in a PFA program
• Clarifying in Section 235.50(a)(1)(A) that consideration in the proposal review process will be given to applicants serving areas where the need for services exceeds the available resources, when that information is available to an applicant.
