Division of Early Child Care and Education Plans a Public Hearing
The Department of Health and Human Resources, Bureau for Children and Families, is conducting a public hearing on the proposed child care and development block grant state plan for federal fiscal years 2010 and 2011. The meeting is scheduled for Friday, May 22, 2009 from 10:00am until 12:00pm. The hearing will be located at the Marshall University Graduate College, Room 137, 100 Angus E. Peyton Drive, South Charleston, WV.
The United States Department of Health and Human Services requires the plan as a condition of funding. Public insight gathered from the meeting will help guide expenditures for the approximately $31 million received.
The funds received help provide support to improve the affordability, availability and quality of child care services in West Virginia.
