Authorizes the provision of child care services on school grounds during school and non-school hours
This bill allows school districts to offer child care services on their property during both school and non-school hours. It permits districts to prioritize care for students first, then for employees, and finally for children aged three and four who lack other care options, with the specific plan decided by the local board of education. The cost of these services must be covered by parents, social services, or other public and private sources, rather than being paid for by the school district itself. The law will not take effect until eighteen months after it is passed.
