Currently in revision timeframe
Waiting for a conference call date – March?
2018 edits of SOC codes:
See proposed edits:
p. 4: Appears early education directors are separated from “prekindergarten”
p : preschool is replaced with “prekindergarten”. Will this include 0-5 educators? Or does this only include TK teachers?
p. 84: definition of “child care” as basic care
(response provided to a concern in definition docket – “workers who care for children perform duties that are distinct from workers who teach children, it is appropriate to maintain the separation between childcare and education”)
