Indiana State Issues and General Assembly Updates:

The General Assembly's 2011 session ended on April 29.  The 2012 session will begin in January.

Interim Study Committees issue final reports:  The Child Care and Education Study Committees have released their final reports.  The Education Committee recommends the formation of an Early Education Advisory Council to provide technical assistance and expertise to the Education Roundtable.  The full report and meeting minutes can be found here.  The Child Care Committee recommends that the Bureau of Child Care of FSSA establish a child care ministry advisory committee.  The full report and minutes can be found here.  While these recommendations fall short of what advocates were hoping for, MCCOY and our partners will continue to push for legislation needed to address education and child care safety.  Stay tuned.
