Legislature convenes for 2012 session--how to stay updated on early learning

The 2012 regular legislative session began on Monday, Jan. 9, and will last 60 days. Although this is a supplemental budget year (not the "long" 105-day session during which the biennial budget is written), legislators have plenty to do during these 60 days.

This week, DEL will present to various legislative committees on the Race to the Top-Early Learning Challenge grant, child care subsidies, the upcoming transfer of the Council for Children & Families to DEL, and portable background checks for child care employees.

 How you can stay informed on early learning issues throughout session:

• Sign up for the monthly DEL Update e-newsletter.
• Check out our early learning legislative updates page, where we post the PowerPoints and archived TVW video from DEL work session presentations.
• Follow DEL on Twitter and Facebook.
