Speaker Notes:

We’re making progress but not much.

Discussion Point

NYS has a shorter time line for determining eligibility for preschool children.

• If NYS had the same time line requirement for preschool children as for school age students, NYS’ compliance rate for preschool children would be 66.1% compared to 48.5%.

Note on the data

Delays fell most often at different points for preschool versus school-age children

• For preschool children, most delays were for 1-10 days (34.3 percent).

• For school-age students, most delays were for more than 30 days (37.8 percent).
