(1)  In each county, the district school board, the central child care agency, the Head Start program, and a private provider of preschool services, in cooperation with the district interagency coordinating council established under s. 230.2305, shall:

(a)  Assess the service needs of all preschool children who are eligible for subsidized child care to identify those who require services beyond the current 6-hour, 180-day prekindergarten program.

(b)  Determine how many children are eligible for prekindergarten programs, but are not enrolled because the hours of availability do not meet the family's need.

(2)  Each public school district shall make reasonable efforts to accommodate the needs of children for extended day and extended year services without compromising the quality of the 6-hour, 180-day program. The school district shall report on such efforts in the report submitted under this section.
