Directory of State Early Learning Contacts
1 Fostering sustainable change in state policy and practice for children birth to third grade www.ceelo.org / info@ceelo.org For edits to the information listed, contact info@ceelo.org October 2016 2 LETTER FROM CEELO October 2016 Dear Colleagues, This latest edition of the Directory of State Early Learning Contacts contains updated information for state contacts in the birth through third grade system in each state. Recognizing that the information in the directory isn’t static, we aim to re-verify and re-publish the Directory twice a year to ensure the information is current. In August 2016, the contacts in each state received an e-mail requesting a review of their state information. Updates were compiled and changes were entered to create this latest iteration of the Directory. We received a high response rate and have made changes as indicated; however, If you know of additional changes or corrections, please forward these to info@ceelo.org. In general, we have limited the contacts to those positions that operate in every, or almost every, state. We’d appreciate any suggestions for additional contacts that should be included for each state, again send along to info@ceelo.org. Finally, we would like to thank all those in the Directory for taking the time to review their information and provide feedback in the midst of their demanding schedules. Go forth and explore!
