...on the 2008-09 Federal Child Care and Development Fund Plan. Here is your opportunity!
From the Minnesota Department of Human Services:
We would like to invite your input and feedback. In order to provide information and opportunities for comment on Minnesota’s proposed 2008-09 Federal Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) Plan, the Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS) is sponsoring two public hearings as well as additional opportunities for input and feedback (outlined below). The public hearings will take place in Saint Paul with four videoconferencing sites in greater Minnesota: Mankato, Walker, Moorhead and Duluth.
In addition to an overview of Minnesota’s proposed CCDF plan, we are pleased that the public hearings will also include information on Minnesota Tribal CCDF plans and how the State and Tribal Child Care programs are working together. This information will be presented by Minnesota Tribal Resources for Early Childhood Care.
