This Task Force is charged with providing a report to the Council and the Mayor by January 15, 2022 that includes the following:

An assessment of the potential impact of implementing an employee compensations sale on early childhood providers that either: 1) do not provide childcare services to children eligible for the District’s subsidy program; 2) serve a minimum number of children who participate in the subsidy program;
A proposed employee compensation scale for early childhood development providers that accounts for employee role, credentials, and experience; and
Provides recommendations for implementing the employee compensation scale, which at a minimum considers:
- Equitable implementation that accounts for different staffing models, types. And sizes of early childhood development facilities;
- Long term implications of the District providing funds to early childhood providers to implement the pay scale; and
- Oversight, reporting, and accountability mechanisms for the use of funds allocated to early childhood development providers from the Early Childhood Educator Pay Equity Fund
