Approval of December 11, 2019 MinutesUpon a motion by Richard Cohen and seconded by Jacquelyn McCroskey, the minutes for theDecember 11, 2019 were approved.OAECE Update4. Dependent Care Spending Account (DCSA) UpdateDebra began her presentation by stating how excited she is to have the Dependent CareSpending Account (DCSA) in the process of being shifted to the Department of Public Health.She referenced the third page of the meeting packet, which is the report that was submitted tothe Board of Supervisors to utilize these funds. Debra publicly acknowledged and expressedgratitude to Jacquelyn McCroskey, Dawn Kurtz, Nurhan Pirim and Paul Pulver for their feedbackon the initial versions of the report. She added that the plan for the use of funds is threefold. Thefirst is to continue enhancing county operated early care and education centers. There are severalcenters operarting on County property in partnership with County departments that prioritizeCounty employees. The Office for the Advancement of Early Care and Education (OAECE)partners with early care and education operators to make sure that they are successful. With theexpanded DCSA funding, the OAECE is thinking about how to improve the quality of thosecenters.The second piece is focused on increasing access to quality early care and education across thecounty so that quality services are available to all children and families. Third, efforts are toinclude building the capacity of the OAECE to advance policy and system change.Debra stated that the next steps are working in partnership with the Chief Executive Office tofinalize the language for the new policy. The DCSA policy is currently being shifted and expandedto incorporate these three activities. The goal is by the end of February to submit that policy tothe Board of Supervisors for approval. Also, the OAECE is developing some different budgetsApproved – March 11, 2020
and operation plans, ensuring that OAECE calibrates and is aligned with the Early Care andEducation Unified Strategic Plan.Public Policy5. Legislative and Policy UpdatesDean Tagawa referenced the legislative matrix in the meeting packet. He briefly spoke about thefollowing bills: AB 1855 and AB 1925 – Relates to the Dynamex decision around small business tax. Thebills are basically clean up to the bill passed last year regarding employees of record. AB 1914 – Ensures that children with disabilities can participate in the general educationsetting. AB 1937 – Requires Local Education Agencies (LEAs) to identify children experiencinghomelessness consistent with the McKinney-Vento act. SB 959 – Defines “pupil” as a child enrolled in a child care and development program asprovided in Califorina Education Code, transitional kindergarten, kindergarten, or any ofgrades 1 to 12, inclusive, that is administered or operated by a local educational agency.Current ECE Issues6. Governor’s Early Care and Education Budget and New State Early ChildhoodDevelopmentPeter Barth, Director of Public Policy and Government Affairs at First 5 LA, stated that this isthe second year that Governor Newsom has made early childhood development a priority innegotiations with the legislature and why we see less in terms of legislation. He shared a fewthings on the budget and what First 5 LA is tracking. Last year the Governor’s budget includeda landmark 2.7 billion in early childhood development funding, which included a lot of childhealth and development components. This year, the Governor’s budget is 222 billion dollars,the largest state spending plan in history, but the new money for early childhood is small.Peter reminded the group that it is not always about how much money is coming, but it isabout asking if the money coming has the appropriate focus on quality implementation withthe right level of supports for providers to be able to train staff. On the one hand, the lack ofmoney is a good thing because it is allowing everyone to focus on the implementationcomponents. Implementation for things like the Adverse Childhood Experiences Screenings(ACES), which is an initiative that just launched.There was a lengthy discussion on the Governor’s budget. Peter concluded by encouragingthe group to elevate the Los Angeles County voice these decision tables given that our countylooks different than other counties and we have a lot of strong advocates. We need to makesure that anything that happens at the state level reflects what we need in Los Angeles County7. Discussion about new Department of Early Childhood DevelopmentThe group was provided a worksheet titled Small Group Conversations: Governor’s Proposal– Department of Early Childhood Development. This worksheet had four questions on it tohelp shaped the conversation. The questions and some of the group responses are below:1) Initial Reactions? About time/Long overdue Streamline Fragmentation for children in foster care – streamline needed Child care vs education – where is the philosophy going to land? How will it impact local structure ( i.e. county departments)Policy Roundtable for Child Care and DevelopmentMeeting Minutes – February 12, 2020 Approved – March 11, 2020Page 2 of 5
Children vs families (i.e. supports for families – tactical considerations – single localagency receives funds)Only moving funding streams or will it lead to coordination of services and budgetsaround contract managementWhat is role of the Roundtable for informing the Board of Supervisors?Where is the administrative mechanism in funding for children and supports to children?Appears governance pieceTrickle down impact on County structure2) Benefits?Streamlining services for childrenCoordination/integration of servicesElevation of parent voicesData coordinationReduces duplication of services and builds efficiencies 3) Concerns? Unintended consequences Unknowns – What mean for CalWORKs Stage 1 – impacts planning (Department ofPublic Social Services) Coordination of data with K-12 Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) – raises contract service issues Bifurcation between early years and preschool and continuum to and administeringmultiple contracts (i.e. Center-based for infants and toddlers and California StatePreschool Program) State says plan is to coordinate. Delay in funding during transition and impact on budgeting; gaps in funding and residualimpact History of advocacy Maintaining focus of quality Governance is a distraction4) What considerations need to be made to make this successful? Highlight work between DCFS and the Child Care Alliance of Los Angeles (CCALA) (re:Emergency Child Care Bridge Fund for Children in Foster Care- importance of flexibility) Flexibility for counties to create plans Create buffer – financial Transition – thoughtful – program impacts on child and family Relationship between the California Department of Education and the new department Data to inform decisions Complicated thinking, policy nuances and pay attention to other early care andeducation issuesWrap-upPolicy Roundtable for Child Care and DevelopmentMeeting Minutes – February 12, 2020 Approved – March 11, 2020Page 3 of 5
