Expenditure |
| Under the provisions of California Education Code (EC) Section 8281.5, grant funds are allocated to school districts and charter schools with Kindergarten enrollment in specific years and according to a specified formula. In addition, funds are allocated to county offices of education (COEs) to support countywide planning and capacity building for Universal PreKindergarten (UPK). |
| Universal PreKindergarten Planning and Implementation (UPK P&I) grant funds may be used for costs associated with creating or expanding California State Preschool Programs (CSPP) or Transitional Kindergarten (TK) programs, or to establish or strengthen partnerships with other providers of prekindergarten education within the local educational agency (LEA), including Head Start programs, to ensure high-quality options for prekindergarten education are available for four-year-old children. Allowable costs include, but are not limited to: classroom operating costs, planning costs, hiring and recruitment costs, staff training and professional development, classroom materials, and supplies. |
| As a condition of receipt of UPK funds, LEAs must provide program data to the California Department of Education (CDE). The CDE shall initiate collection proceedings for grant funds used by LEAs in a manner inconsistent with the requirements in EC 8281.5, including, but not limited to, failing to submit expenditure reports. |
