46 Amend printed bill, page 2, after line 1 insert:
47 "SECTION 1. Legislative declaration. (1) The general assembly
48 hereby finds and declares that:
49 (a) Demand for early childhood educators and directors is
50 expected to increase by nearly twenty-five percent over the next ten years,
51 a rate that is even faster anticipated growth than for kindergarten through
52 twelfth grade educators, and the growth rates for early childhood
53 professionals are high everywhere, but are double in rural counties
54 compared to urban counties and highest in frontier counties;
55
1 (b) The early care and education sector is comprised almost
2 exclusively of women, forty percent of whom are people of color, and
3 failure to invest in this profession undermines the economic opportunity
4 of early educators and their ability to support the education of the children
5 in their classroom;
6 (c) These educators represent the most racially diverse sector of
7 the teaching workforce, compared to kindergarten through twelfth grade
8 and postsecondary education, but early educators are among the
9 lowest-paid professionals in every state, including Colorado;
10 (d) On average, early childhood educators earn less than half of
11 the salary of kindergarten teachers and over one-third report receiving
12 subsidies from public assistance programs to make ends meet;
13 (e) Low pay and instability in the early childhood sector contribute
14 to high turnover rates with half of all early childhood education
15 professionals changing jobs within three years;
16 (f) The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated the challenges
17 facing the recruitment, retention, and professional development of the
18 early childhood workforce at a time when the need for access to early care
19 and education is acute for working families, and women in particular, to
20 be able to enter the workforce; and
21 (g) Investments in the early care and education workforce have a
22 significant return on investment with every dollar invested in the early
23 care and education sector resulting in two dollars and twenty-seven cents
24 in output in the state economy and every job created in the early care and
25 education sector resulting in an additional nearly one and one-half new
26 jobs in the state economy.
27 (2) Now, therefore, the general assembly declares that supporting
28 the early childhood workforce with a targeted tax credit can support
29 stability in the industry and, in turn, support working families, child
30 development, and economic growth.".
