Greetings,
The Early Learning project can help low income children, but not if their families are in sanction or thrown off welfare. Check out the web page and comment on how full family sanction contradicts the goals of the Early Learning project.

The Department of Early Learning (DEL) has a new website! While not perfect, our new portal is the first of many changes from DEL you'll see in the future. We hope the re-designed site provides you easier access to information. We've put lots of hard work into improving the site's overall "look and feel." Knowing it's not always easy to find the information you need, we've also improved its content to make it more concise and easier to follow.
You can visit the new website at http://www.del.wa.gov/ and take a look at some of the changes:
* DEL's Report to Governor Gregoire and the Washington State Legislature is now posted. The report was submitted on December 15, 2006. DEL, working together with the Early Learning Council, prepared this report in response to legislation creating the Department of Early Learning. The 37-page document focuses on DEL's roles and accountabilities.
* You have the ability to search website content from almost every page.
* There is a “Notice of Proposed Rule Changes and Manual Changes” section that contains up-to-date, specific information on rule and manual changes.
* The site is simply better organized and easier to use.
Since DEL's website really is our "face" to the public, we want that face to be a friendly, inclusive one. We hope this web site provides visibility and focus to early learning, along with important information to parents and providers as they focus on developing early learning opportunities for all children. We welcome your comments as we continue to grow!
Best Wishes for a wonderful holiday season!

Greetings,
This is the first of Nancy Amidei's Policy Watch, which she puts out weekly until the end of session -- 12 weeks from now. I am sending it out to the entire list, but will only send it to those who ask me to after this week. Please let me know if you want to see this alert. We will send out shorter ones, from Olympia Organizer Monica Peabody, the Children's Alliance and Poverty Action. All these will have action steps asking you to do something.

POLICY WATCH - WEEK I 2007
Welcome to the 60th convening of the Washington State Legislature!
With this first POLICY WATCH I have included two items:
1) An UPDATED list of LOBBY DAYS (if you know of others that I somehow missed, please send the information along),
2) An UPDATED copy of "USEFUL INFORMATION" - complete with contacts for advocacy groups that provide weekly legislative updates on their priority bills and budget items.
If you want to get their mailings, contact them directly.
Here's to a great 2007 Session.

===================================================================
The Coalition on Human Needs will host a web and phone federal budget training in on January 24th at 2:30pm ET and on February 1st at 12:30pm ET. Both trainings will have the same agenda and cover the same material so you can attend which ever one fits your schedule and they are expected to last an hour and a half. They can also serve as a coalition activity or as a support tool for staff and volunteer advocates. You will need a computer with speakersto participate. When further training participation details are finalized we will share them with ECAP field partners.
Thanks!
