Early Learning Coalition of Escambia CountyDirector's Report
April 8, 2010
1. The Department of Education has released the provider level FLKRS (Florida KindergartenReadiness Screening) scores. Escambia has 9 low performing VPK providers (LPP). The highscore this year is 200. We have 7 VPK providers with the high score. The results show that as acounty we are making progress in the emergent literacy skills of letter recognition and phonemicawareness. But we still have work to do in social skills to prepared children to enter school readyto succeed. Low performing providers must complete an improvement plan to continue to offerthe VPK program.
2. Diane traveled to Tallahassee on March 23rd with three child care directors. The Directorsattended the House Full Appropriations Committee meeting. Each "Waved in Support" of theHouse proposal to only reduce VPK funding by 1%. Rep. Flores made a committee motion thatday to restore VPK funding from a 14% reduction to a 1% reduction. VPK providers will meeton April 8 and 9th to discuss ways to educate our legislators about VPK.
3. Good news for the 2009110 VPK budget. The legislative committees in the House and Senatehave funded the current year VPK program through June 30, 2010. Please see the ExecutiveCommittee section for more information on local action steps.
4. More good news. Both the current House and Senate budget have school readiness funding at thesame general revenue levels as last year. We will still have a budget reduction but it will not be asdramatic as excepted. We thank all of the providers and parents that took the time to talk withlegislators about the importance of early learning programs.
5. Based on the 2009110 budget projections by funding category, we will be adding an additional100 children from the waiting list into school readiness services. We are shifting funding for somechildren from ARRA (stimulus funding) to regular funding to conserve ARRA funding for nextfiscal year.
6. Coalition staff presented two United Way funding requests before the funding review panels. Wewill most likely have funding decisions in May. One request is for school readiness local matchand one request is for Imagination Library funding.
7. The Early Learning Nurses are preparing an IMP ACT 100 grant application to develop a localprogram focusing on reducing childhood obesity. The nurse also will be working with WIC(Women, Infants, and Children) to focus a child care initiative on supporting good nutritionpractices in early learning settings.
8. Gloria Thompson received a $2,500 grant from State Farm Insurance to promote care seat safetyand to purchase care seats to be used at a safety event in May.

Six directors of early learning programs, Head Start and the SchoolDistrict participated. Representatives from 8 local programs also participated. The group is nowfocusing on how they will present the program to the community in addition to the families thatimpact in their individual work places.

Executive Committee
Skip Housh, Chair
The Committee met on February zs" and March 25,2010. The committee brings the followingaction items for Board consideration:
1. The committee recommends Susan Nelms for the position of Board Secretary.2. The committee brings the Financials for January 20103. The committee brings the financials for February 20104. The committee brings and timeline and process for child disenrollment
The committee reviewed the complete financial packages for the months of January andFebruary.
After discussion in February of the potential not to have sufficient VPK funding to complete the2009110 school year program, the committee developed an action plan for disenrolling childrenshould funding not be located. Kerry Anne Schultz advised the Committee that as a Coalition weare only obligated to continue the program if the state provides funding. Without the necessarysate and/or federal funding, the local Board is not under any legal requirement to continueoffering programs. The office of Early Learning is working to ensure that the Senate and Houserealize the need for quick action on 2009/10 VPK funding.
Skip Housh reported on a lively Early Learning Advisory Council (ELAC) meeting in March.Gwen Frazier also attended that meeting. Many Early Learning Coalition Chairs madelegislative visits during their time in Tallahassee. In addition to funding concerns, several billshave been filed that may directly impact Coalition operations. One bill was presented by SenatorWise and another by Representative Evers.
Once final reviews from the November OEL file review and the KPMG monitoring have beenreceived, those will be reviewed by our audit committee.

Early Learning Advisory Council
Tallahassee, FL
March 4, 2010
Notes
1) Cynthia Lorenzo, AWI Director, provided an Agency update. State-side, SchoolReadiness enrollment is at about 250,000 with 50,000 kids on waiting lists. VPKenrollment is about 150,000, about 63% of 4 year-olds in the State.
2) As of the ELAC meeting, funding for the Early Learning Information System (ELIS) wasin both House and Senate budget proposals. There is about $2M in federal ARRA moneyavailable to help pay for some of the cost.
3) The Florida Council of 100 has issued a research report focused on the value of earlychildhood education to our community.
4) The Legislative Committee provided an update on the status of its work to hold, at aminimum, level funding for SR and VPK for 20 10-11. Several ELAC members met withkey Legislators the day before the ELAC meeting. It was clear that many of the Chairshave been meeting with their local delegations in advance of the Session. Most of theLegislators seemed to be well-informed. The talking points that seem to resonate bestwith Legislators include:
a. The federal matching and local funds that help support SR.b. The efficiency ofOEL and the Coalitions in providing services -less that 3% of
the total.c. The local jobs that are created by the Coalitions and that are supported by SR and
VPK.d. The fantastic Return on Investment from improving the readiness of our children
to suoceed in school.
5) Ms. Francis Haithcock, Chancellor of DOE shared her personal commitment and that ofDOE to working cooperatively with OEL and the Coalitions in improving results forchildren from VPK.
6) Dr. Brittany Birken, OEL Director, informed ELAC that they expect to have sufficientfunds available, through a deobligationlreobligation process to fund VPK in everyCoalition through the end of May without Legislative action. Of course, that leaves openthe question of what will happen for June and for summer programs, if there are anyfunds for summer VPK, at all. .
7) OEL is working with the Coalition Executive Directors on drafting a draft uniform.contract between Coalitions and providers. OEL seems open to the possibility of have auniform contract as a starting point for the Coalitions to build on. Proposals introducedin the Legislature would require all Coalitions to use on the uniform contract.

Eligibility and Provider Payments
Gwen Frazier, Chair
The committee met on February zs" and March 16th. The committee brings a
recommendation for contractor guidance in the event of an emergency or closuresituation.
The committee had discussions about payments for early learning and VPKprograms that were closed during the "snow day", February 12, 2010. Thecommittee and Executive Committee id approve payment for that day. About48% of the providers were closed, while the others chose to remain open. Whilethis was a unique situation, the committee noted that revised guidance should bedeveloped to help school readiness providers understand the implications ofclosure decisions.
Due to state level funding concerns the committee is closely monitoring thepotential funding for 2009/2010 VPK funding. At the time of the committeemeeting, the Senate budget included continuation funding but the House budgetdid not.
Staff will be reporting to the committee on school readiness funding by fundingcategory. The goal is to preserve as much ARRAfunding for next fiscal year aspossible.
Modifications have been made to serving TANF workforce mandatory customersfor subsidy child care services. Not enough information was available to see if thechanges are successful. The committee will have an update later this month.
The waiting list continues to grow as families need child care to obtain ormaintain employment. There are limited companies offering new employmentright now in our community. The statewide unemployment level is at an all timehigh.

Approved by Committee 3.16.10. Approved by Executive Committee 3.25.2010
Guidelines for Early Learning Program Closures
Background: All early learning programs that provide care for School Readiness or VPK funded
children are independent business, non-profits or pubic programs. As such, the Early Learning
Coalition has no authority to tell early programs when they may be open or closed. The Coalition
does have a responsibility to determine if a program can be paid with School Readiness or VPK funds
for a day when children are not in care. Early Learning programs typically make closure decisions
based on a variety of factors including the safety of their children and parents, safety of their staff,
parent child care needs based on work hours, and local emergency declarations.
Historically early learning providers have looked to the public school district for closing guidance
because serving school age children changes business operations when the public schools are closed.
However, in emergency situations, the public school must close early to allow for set-up and
operation of shelters. Public schools also make closure decisions due to bus transportation
requirements that mayor may nor also apply to early learning programs.
In the event of a declared emergency by the County Commissioners, the Executive Committee or the
Board will make decisions about payment for closures at the next available opportunity. The decision
for authorizing payment for closure is based on the severity of the emergency, local travel restrictions
and state emergency guidance. Each declared emergency is treated individually.
Recently the community experienced a community wide closure with no declared emergency. This
situation had never occurred in the past. Based on that situation, the need has arisen to provide
more guidance on early learning and VPK program closure.
Emergency situations may occur that affect only a single early learning program, such as a broken
water main, loss of electricity, or health department recommendation. Those individual closings have
been approved on a case by case basis.
Recommendation: With the knowledge that the Coalition cannot require a private business or
public entity to close or open, the coalition recommends that private and public early learning
programs use the following as guidelines for making closure decisions:
1. Safety of children and parents2. Safety of employees and premises3. Local Emergency declarations4. Closure of County Offices
Closures for individual special situations are approved by the Executive Director. When possible,
advance notice should be made of the closure or within 24 hours of the closure.

The Costs of Disinvestment:Why States Can't Afford to Cut Smart Early Childhood Programs
Cutting effective early childhood programs hurts states now. Depriving children of a strong developmental startincreases costs for parents, hospitals, schools and communities.
Investments in early child development benefit states now. Priority must go to programs whose demonstrated
economic and societal benefits, based on solid research, savemoney now and generate future revenue.
Quality home visiting/parent mentoring programsfor at-risk families help to reduce costs now:
• Such programs can decrease by nearly half theincidence of low-birthweight births.' saving$28,000-$40,000 for each one averted?
• Bycutting child abuse and neglect up to 80%,3theycan save states collectively some of the $33 billion in
annual hospitalization, legal and other costs.'
• Nurse-Family Partnership (NFP)program childparticipants had 32% fewer emergency room visitsthan their peers as toddlers and 56% fewer visits forinjuries and polsonlnqs." Through these and othersavings, NFPcan pay for itself within four years,"
Effective pre-k programs help reduce costly graderetention and special education services right away:
• Pennsylvania Pre-KCounts Public-Private Partnershipsaw a reduction in the percentage of participatingchildren with developmental delays (a predictor ofspecial education needs) from 21 percent at entry to 8
percent at program graduation?
• A study of New Jersey's Abbott Preschool Programfound up to 50 percent less grade retention for firstgraders who attended at both ages 3 and 4.8
The cost-savings persist into children's early gradeschool years:
• Graduates of the Chicago Child-Parent Centershad 35% less grade retention and 26% less special
education placement than their third-grade peers.
They also experienced 30% less child abuse and
neqlect.?
• Louisiana's LM program reduced participatingchildren's odds of kindergarten retention by up to one
third and of special education placement through
second grade by nearly one half.lo
Earlychildhood programs stimulate the local economy:

Our economy is being dramatically re-shaped.
Workforce development is critical to success.
Ensuring a reliable stream of qualified workers is
a key factor for states in attracting new business.
Programs that start children on the path to successful
adulthood spur workforce development in multiple
ways. In the long term, they increase school test scores,
graduation rates, college attendance, job readiness and
earnings; and reduce substance abuse, crime and teen
pregnancy-all critical to growing a skilled workforce.

human capital and position your state to compete and
thrive in the new economy that is taking shape now.
Partnership Principles forState and Federal Resource Allocation
Applying five principles can help securestates'economic
future. Enacting smart policies requires decision-making
that prioritizes proven programs for all state spending.
• Human Capital:To achieve growth and fiscal
sustainability, government should place its greatest
emphasis on strengthening the skills and capacities of
every American;
• Early Childhood: In developing human capital. our
nation should focus especially on children, from before
birth to five years of age, and their families;
• Evaluation: Return on investment should be a key
consideration in public resource allocation decisions;
• Transparency: Government should enable citizens
to understand and participate in the assessment of all
revenue and spending decisions; and
• Sustainability: State and federal budgets should be
viable over the long term.
