The one-year extension will enable Rapid Response Team current grantees to maintain their regional coordination efforts aimed at enhancing the capacity of the early childhood education workforce.

Rapid Response Teams are critical in supporting young children in care settings and reducing suspension and expulsion rates through timely, collaborative classroom support. 

Originally scheduled to conclude on December 31, many organizations had already begun closeout activities in anticipation of the deadline.
