City and County of San Francisco: individualized county child care subsidy plan.

The Child Care and Development Services Act, administered by the State Department of Education, requires the Superintendent of Public Instruction to administer child care and development programs that offer a full range of services for eligible children from infancy to 13 years of age. Existing law, until January 1, 2011, authorizes the City and County of San Francisco, as a pilot project, to develop and implement an individualized county child care subsidy plan, and provides for the repeal of those provisions on January 1, 2013. This bill would authorize the City and County of San Francisco to implement an individualized county child care subsidy plan until June 30, 2016, and would require the city and county to phase out the plan by January 1, 2018. The bill would require the city and county to demonstrate an increase in the aggregate earned child days of enrollment by the end of the first fiscal year of operation under the child care subsidy plan submitted to and approved by the Child Development Division of the department after January 1, 2010. The bill would require the city and county, on or before December 31, 2016, to submit a final report to the Legislature and other specified entities that summarizes the impact of the plan. The bill would repeal those provisions on January 1, 2018.
