2007 Minnesota Statutes

119A.5411 FULL-DAY REQUIREMENTS.
    The following phase-in of full-day services in Head Start programs or licensed child care as
defined in chapter 245A is required:
    (1) by fiscal year 2009, a minimum of 25 percent of the total state-funded enrollment
throughout the state must be provided in full-day services;
    (2) by fiscal year 2011, a minimum of 40 percent of the total state-funded enrollment
throughout the state must be provided in full-day services; and
    (3) by fiscal year 2013, a minimum of 50 percent of the total state-funded enrollment
throughout the state must be provided in full-day services.
    Head Start programs may provide full-day services as part of their own program model or
through agreements with licensed full-day child care programs. If licensed child care providers
do not exist in a geographic area, choose not to participate, cannot meet the federal Head Start
performance standards after sufficient opportunity, or a Head Start program is unable to establish
the full-day services as a part of their own program model, the Head Start program may request
exemption from the commissioner.
