§ 10802 Child Care Data Reporting

This law requires the state education department to set up a system so local schools can give each child a unique statewide ID and report preschool data for state‑ and federally‑funded child‑care programs, with the system in place by Jan 1 2011.

Key Takeaways

•The department must create the ID and reporting process by Jan 1 2011.
•The process uses the unique statewide pupil identifiers defined in § 60900(e)(3).
•All preschool programs run by local education agencies must have their data collected.
•Programs won’t be forced to use the IDs until money is set aside for it in the state budget.

Example

A local school district runs a preschool program and needs to assign every child a unique statewide pupil ID and send the required preschool data to the state.

The department will have created a process that tells the district how to create, keep, and report the IDs and the preschool information, so the district can follow it and stay in line with state and federal rules.

(a) The department shall establish a process by which local educational agencies issue, maintain, and report information using the unique statewide pupil identifiers specified in paragraph (3) of subdivision (e) of Section 60900 for state and federally funded center-based child care and development programs under their purview. (b) In order to comply with the federal American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5) assurances delineated in Section 6401(e)(2) of the America COMPETES Act (20 U.S.C. Sec. 9871), the department shall establish the process referenced in subdivision (a) no later than January 1, 2011. (c) It is the intent of the Legislature that on or before January 1, 2011, the department, at a minimum, ensures that the data elements pertaining to preschool described in Section 6401(e)(2)(D) of the America COMPETES Act (20 U.S.C. Sec. 9871) be collected for all preschool programs operated by a local educational agency. (d) Except to the extent required by federal law, or as needed to ensure compliance with federal law, the department shall not require these center-based child care and development programs to implement or maintain unique pupil identifiers specified in paragraph (3) of subdivision (e) of Section 60900 until an appropriation for this purpose is provided in the annual Budget Act or another statute. (Amended by Stats. 2010, 5th Ex. Sess., Ch. 1, Sec. 2. (SB 2 5x) Effective April 12, 2010.)
