The Board concluded, and instructed me to inform you, that since your agency, the Early Child- <br /> hood Division of LDE,regulates early childcare centers,including private centers,you would be <br /> prohibited from receiving compensation from those centers for training services. <br /> 2. STRATEGIC PLANNING GUIDANCE TO EARLY CHILDHOOD PROGRAMS <br /> You have provided strategic planning guidance to early childhood programs at primarily private <br /> school based centers. These services have included developing a budget for a new program or <br /> implementing a new vision. These private schools are licensed by the Early Childhood Division <br /> of LDE. <br /> The Board concluded, and instructed me to inform you, that Section 1111C(2)(d) (above) would <br /> prohibit you from receiving compensation from private childhood centers for strategic guidance <br /> services, as those centers are regulated by your agency <br /> 3. W.K.KELLOGG FOUNDATION <br /> You recently completed a three year fellowship program with the W.K. Kellogg Foundation. You <br /> have been asked by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation and the Kellogg Foundation Leadership Asso- <br /> ciation to develop curriculum for the next class of fellows. The Leadership Association would <br /> compensate you for your work developing the curriculum. All work would be performed outside <br /> of your normal LDE working hours. You stated that neither the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, nor <br /> the Leadership Association, has a contractual, business, or financial relationship with, or are reg- <br /> ulated by,the Early Childhood Division of LDE. <br /> The Board conduded, and instructed me to inform you, that you would not be prohibited from <br /> receiving compensation from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation or the Leadership Association, as <br /> they have no contractual, business, or financial relationship with, and are not regulated by, your <br /> agency,and all work would be performed outside of your normal working hours with LDE. <br /> This advisory opinion is based solely on the facts as set forth herein.
