SB294 - An Act To Amend Title 14 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Salary Schedules For Early Childhood Personnel.
Delaware - 152nd General AssemblyIntroduced by
Kyle Evans Gay, Laura Sturgeon, DeShanna U. Neal
Last updated 7 months ago11 Co-Sponsors
This Act removes assigned salary schedules established for child care licensing specialists and child care licensing supervisors, who are employed through the Department of Education. By removing this language, the Department of Education will be able to provide equitable compensation to early childhood personnel within the Office of Child Care Licensing. Attracting and retaining employees is critical to ensure the States child care licensing system is sufficiently staffed. Currently, the statute prevents child care licensing specialists and child care licensing supervisors from equitable pay within the Department of Education, leading to high rates of turnover and inter-Department transfer. A lack of staffing limits the ability of the State to investigate complaints being made against child care centers.
