What it does
(1) Existing law, the Early Education Act, among other things, requires the Superintendent of Public Instruction to administer all California state preschool programs. The act establishes a standard reimbursement rate for both the part-day and full-day preschool programs, as provided. The act defines the term "attendance" for purposes of this reimbursement to include excused absences for days a child is not in attendance during an appeal process regarding expulsion or suspension.
