18 Section 6. Section 402.3017, Florida Statutes, is
19 renumbered as section 411.0103, Florida Statutes, and amended
20 to read:
21 411.0103 402.3017 Teacher Education and Compensation
22 Helps (TEACH) scholarship program.--
23 (1) The Legislature finds that the level of early
24 child care teacher education and training is a key predictor
25 for determining program quality. The Legislature also finds
26 that low wages for child care workers prevent many from
27 obtaining increased training and education and contribute to
28 high turnover rates. The Legislature therefore intends to help
29 fund a program which links teacher training and education to
30 compensation and commitment to the field of early childhood
31 education.
