Newsom and child care union cut a deal that is as clear as mud

by Denyne Colburn, CEO of CAPPA. On Friday, it was announced that finally the Child Care Provider Union (CCPU) and Governor Newsom had made a deal. To say relief was in the air was an understatement. However, as more details over the weekend have emerged, I am not sure relief is an appropriate term.

So what do we think we know? The agreement is expected to increase the amount payed to family child care providers for subsidized care. The proposed agreement seems to be based on 75 percent of the 2018 Regional Market Rate (RMR) survey. The providers are to receive 15 percent above that amount. On this note, is it only family child care providers? It is unclear as to what centers that are reimbursed via the Standard Reimbursement Rate (SRR) will receive a comparable increase. Further, the agreement has a two-year timeframe meaning that it could revert back. On this note, it is simply unacceptable that not all of the rates are being increased. And that it be crystal clear of the increase to all. California's subsidized family child care providers and centers have been neglected to long. All need to be brought up and supported in keeping their door open to supporting our lowest incomed families.

In regards to the number of subsidized child care slots, 120,000 additional slots should be available to low income families in fiscal year 2021-22. However, as previously noted not one penny is being provided to community based agencies tasked with the enrollment. Governor Newsom could say "Look at what I provided," but at the same time make sure that the slots cannot be filled. An additional 80,000 child care slots would be available over the next four years.

Stipends are definitely part of the mix. Funding of $250 million is allocated. Let's see. Governor Newsom gave prison guards a $5,000 pandemic stipend. I sincerely hope that $5,000 is the floor and California child care providers will get more.

There is agreement to support a Universal Transitional Kindergarten (UTK) that supports preschool wrap for after and summer school care, and allows for parent choice of where they would like to have their four year old's supported, state preschool, subsidized child care or Head Start. This is a step in the right direction. Private child care centers must continue to be valued and not threatened because the current political will is to have UTK only delivered on school grounds.

Without question, this is a momentous time and historical for California to have come to a tentative first time agreement with the newly formed Child Care Provider Union (CCPU). However, I am concerned that this agreement leaves our center-based programs behind. Further, I am concerned that Governor Newsom continued to struggle to see the value of providing subsidized child care to families teetering on the brink of insolvency. Politics aside, the struggle to increase the rates should not have been this hard. And with less that a week to go before California is to fully enact a 2021-22 state budget, to not know that all providers that have continued to show up will be values with a meaningful rate increase in concerning. With over $75 billion in surplus dollars, this tentative outcome simply should've been more.

Biden Administration Endorses Bipartisan Infrastructure Proposal 
On Thursday, June 24 President Biden announced his support for a bipartisan infrastructure deal, a $1.2 trillion dollar plan focused on traditional infrastructure like roads and bridges. The bipartisan infrastructure proposal doesn’t include care priorities, like child care. President Biden has pledged to not sign the bipartisan infrastructure deal unless there is also a budget reconciliation package. This budget reconciliation package will be a vehicle to fund human infrastructure, like child care, and include many important provisions from the American Jobs Plan and the American Families Plan.  
 
What’s most important to keep in mind about Biden’s endorsement of the bipartisan infrastructure plan is that negotiations about future infrastructure packages are still ongoing and are a long way from becoming final. So, it continues to be important for all of us to push for at least $700B in direct spending for child care and early learning.
 
Assistant Speaker Clark, Bonamici Bowman, Warren Wyden, Over 100 Colleagues Call For $700 Billion For Child Care in Infrastructure Package 
On Tuesday, June 22 Assistant Speaker Clark, Bonamici, Bowman, Warren, Wyden and over 100 members of Congress called for at least $700 billion in direct spending for child care in the upcoming infrastructure package. They wrote, “The upcoming infrastructure package presents an historic opportunity to not only recover from the devastating effects of the pandemic, but also to build a stronger caregiving economy for women and families across the country. Providing affordable, quality care for every child and family who needs it would create jobs, increase productivity, and have lifelong benefits for children’s development and growth. We urge you to prioritize investments in a stronger child care system in the next funding package to ensure that women and families are not left behind in our recovery.” They also emphasized that the upcoming infrastructure package is an opportunity to build towards the future child care system that we need.    
 
Op-Ed: The Roots of Our Child Care Crisis Are in the Legacy of Slavery 
On June 11, Fatima Goss Graves wrote an article to honor Juneteenth that talks about the link between undervaluing child care providers and slavery. Child care providers are overwhelmingly women, and one in five child care providers is a Black Woman. She writes, “The invisibility of child care workers today can be connected directly to the invisibility of Black women who provided care both as coerced labor and underpaid workers before and after the Civil War in conditions that made it difficult to also care for their own children.” She emphasizes that we have a window of opportunity to decide what we want our new normal and the future of child care to look like. But our recovery from the pandemic “cannot come at the continual expense of Black women and reliance upon cheap Black labor. Tolerance of that racial dynamic further perpetuates the historical view of Black women existing solely for the benefit of others.”  
 
The Role of Child Care in an Equitable Post-Pandemic Economy 
On Wednesday, June 23, Fatima Goss Graves, President and CEO of the National Women’s Law Center testified before the US Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs about the importance of child care in our economic recovery. Ms. Graves highlighted the importance of not leaving child care, and women, out of the upcoming infrastructure package, stating “We cannot let women, who have lost so many jobs in this economy, who have held together their families in this economy, with work that is both invisible and barely made visible, and certainly underpaid in this period. People are counting on Congress to deliver on child care...” Senator Warren explained why child care should be treated as a public good, and emphasized that we have to invest in child care and early education because it is critical to children’s development.  
California child care providers push governor for higher pay
Associated Press

Hundreds of child care providers in California marched and chanted Thursday outside the state Capitol demanding higher wages, a topic that appears to be the final sticking point in budget negotiations between lawmakers and Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom.

“We are essential workers and it’s about time that we’re treated like it,” Miren Algorri, a child care provider in San Diego, declared to the crowd. She said Newsom is treating such workers like they are “disposable.” To read more click here.

Family Fee Waivers for FY 2021–22

Attention: All Early Learning and Care Program Executive Directors, Program Directors, and other interested parties

The budget conversations between the Legislature and the Governor are ongoing and no version of the budget has been signed by the Governor yet. However, to ensure a greater burden is not placed on the subsidized early learning and care field based on potential changes in the budget, the CDE asks all contractors to hold off on family fee billing and collection for July 2021, until the final version of the budget is signed by the Governor. When the final bill language is completed and has been signed by the Governor, the CDE and the California Department of Social Services will issue additional guidance related to family fees. 
Age Eligibility for State Subsidized Early Learning and Care Services

Attention: Executive Directors and Program Administrators of State Subsidized Early Learning and Care Programs
The CDE, ELCD has been made aware of the need to provide clarity regarding eligibility for subsidized early learning and care (ELC) services for children who turn thirteen years old prior to the recertification date following the 12-month eligibility period. This guidance does not apply to ELC programs that are participating in local subsidy childcare Pilots. Guidance for those programs will be provided in a forthcoming message to the local subsidy childcare Pilots.
In accordance with Education Code (EC) Section 8208(i), children who have reached their thirteenth birthday are ineligible for subsidized services at initial certification or recertification. Fourteen-year-old children are not eligible for subsidized ELC services, except those children with exceptional needs, and children with severe disabilities, as specified in EC Section 56026, and California Code of Regulations, Title 5 (5 CCR) Section 18089. Children with exceptional needs or severe disabilities may be served to age twenty-one.
Children whose initial certification or recertification occurs just prior to the child’s thirteenth birthday may receive subsidized ELC services for the duration of the 12-month eligibility period in accordance with EC Section 8263(h)(1) & (i). As specified in 5 CCR Section 18094, the contractor must issue the family a Notice of Action (NOA) that includes the duration of eligibility. In this case, the eligibility duration included on the NOA should include the end date of subsidized ELC services, which must be through the 12-month eligibility period, and no later than the child’s fourteenth birthday. Children who have already reached their thirteenth birthday prior to initial certification or at the time of recertification are no longer eligible to receive subsidized ELC. Because the child would be thirteen at the end of the certification period, they are no longer eligible for subsidized services and would not be eligible for recertification for subsidized ELC services.
12-Month Eligibility Regulations
 
All Early Learning and Care Program Executive Directors, Program Directors and other interested parties:
This notice is to inform the field that the 12-Month Eligibility Regulations have been approved by the Office of Administrative Law and will go into effect on July 1, 2021. The final version of these regulations can be found on the CDE rulemaking web page, located at https://www.cde.ca.gov/re/lr/rr/calworks12monthelig.asp.
The ELCD encourages contractors to review the finalized regulations in their entirety prior to submitting any questions related to these regulations. Questions regarding these regulations can be submitted via the Title 5 email inbox (ELCDTitle5@cde.ca.gov) and may be added to upcoming Frequently Asked Questions. All inquiries should be submitted with agency name, contract type, and region to ensure proper support can be provided for contractors.
It is important to note that these regulations are applicable to all Title 5 programs, including those that are transitioning to the California Department of Social Services on July 1, 2021.
FY 2021-22 Funding Terms and Conditions
 
Funding Terms and Conditions (FT&C’s) have been posted to CDE’s webpage and can be found at https://www.cde.ca.gov/fg/aa/cd/ftc2021.asp. Both CDE and CDSS programs will utilize these FT&C’s in FY 2021–22.

Upcoming CAPPA Events
Our goal is to continue to ensure the safety of our members and attendees. To do this, we have once again decided that this year we will move forward with a virtual conference. We will certainly miss being able to come together in-person to share and gain information and to meet and connect with colleagues and workshop presenters. We want to once again create a conference event that meets as many of our members’ needs as possible given the parameters that virtual conferences/workshops have. We know how important it is for our community to stay connected, stand united, and continue to meet this challenge
together.

While we won’t be able to meet in-person, what we hope to offer in a thoughtful, user-friendly manner, are keynote presentations, workshops, networking opportunities, and connection time with vendors. With no travel and flexibility, we look forward to new opportunities for R&R Network and CAPPA members from across the state, as well as state partners, joining us as we collectively support our children, families and communities.
