TK Age Eligible, Early Admittance TK and Early Enrollment TK Differences.JPG

# data[].attributes.body
I just attended a CDE webinar in which they stated that any class with early admit TK students (turn 5 after April 1, 2024 for this school year) is subject to a 1:10 ratio with a max of 20 students. If those are not met, there will be penalty for any early admit student in that classroom. In addition, I understand there is a penalty if those students are in a classroom with a teacher who does not a preliminary credential and 24 ECE units. This seems vastly different from the information I received early. Can you clarify if this is correct?

UPK Funding for Pre-k Services ?(Excluding TK)

# data[].attributes.body
Hi, it seems a lot of the implementation money and efforts are delegated to TK (understandably so) are there any ways LEAs can allocate UPK funding to private pre-k services? ex: Grants? Free Advertising?

We talk so much about mixed delivery, but since private Pre-K can't administer TK, in what ways can private pre-k be supported with State $ so they don't fail and close their doors? To be frank, we all know that if there isn't funding behind an initiative, it won't get done.
