During the 2021 session, the legislature passed two bills, HB 2166 and SB 236, addressing suspension and expulsion of young children in early care and education programs. HB 2166 established the Early Childhood Suspension and Expulsion Prevention Program (ECSEPP) to provide technical assistance to reduce expulsion or suspension in programs serving children from birth through age five and address disparities in the rates of suspension and expulsion. During the same session, the legislature also passed SB 236, which prohibits any early care and education program that is either licensed or receiving public funds from suspending or expelling any child as of July 1, 2026. SB 236 directed the agency to submit a report on the steps needed to implement this prohibition. Because successful implementation depends on support and technical assistance to early care and education providers that are part of the ECSEPP, this report also covers progress towards implementing this program, and recommended steps to support its successful rollout.
