through Governor Tim Pawlenty's Executive Order. The Council's goal is
that by 2020, all Minnesota children are school-ready as they enter
kindergarten. The Council will provide recommendations to the Governor
and Minnesota Legislature toward this outcome.  The Council has 13 state
and federal charges that have been grouped into related themes and are
being addressed by four committees: Accountability, Access and Finance,
Professional Development and Early Learning Standards.

An interactive Web-based forum or bulletin board has been created to
provide an opportunity for public comment on strategies suggested by
ECAC committees that will support children in their readiness to enter
kindergarten. The Council is interested in hearing ideas and strategies
that have worked in various communities throughout Minnesota.  The
public comments and suggestions will be taken into consideration as the
committees develop their recommendations to present to the Council. 

Please take the time to visit the new Early Childhood Advisory Council
forum and add your ideas.
