Purpose of the NC Pre-K Committee
The NC Pre-K Program is built upon a system of existing local school boards and districts, private child care providers and other entities that demonstrate the ability to provide high quality pre-kindergarten services for eligible 4-year olds. The NC Pre-K Program requires that every county (or region) that participates in providing services for NC Pre-K must establish and maintain a County/Region NC Pre-K Committee. The purpose of the Committee is to: 1. Select a contracting agency; 2. Develop operational policies and procedures; 3. Ensure collaboration and shared responsibility for developing, approving and implementing the local plan for delivering NC Pre-K services at the community level; 4. Ensure that services are built on the existing early childhood service delivery system and that service providers in the community with the ability to provide NC Pre-K services have the opportunity to express interest and be considered; 5. Provide ongoing, collaborative advice about local policies and procedures in the implementation of NC Pre-K services; and 6. Provide oversight for the local program (both programmatic and fiscal).
