Fresno County Town Hall Meeting

The town hall meeting on the Quality Rating Improvement System was a tremendous success. The opening message included a view of the federal landscape for early care and education presented by representatives from Preschool California. Additionally, Dennis Vicars, Chair of the State of California Early Learning Quality Improvement System advisory presented the draft contents of the state’s proposal. Mr. Vicars was particularly interested in hearing from our local Quality Rating System task team chair, Wilma Hashimoto, about the development of the Fresno County system for improvement. The Town Hall meeting allowed for a healthy dialogue between the designers of the state’s system and the task team members of our local plan.
