Management Bulletins

The Child Development Division periodically issues Management Bulletins to provide legal and regulatory information to child development contractors and other interested parties. This is a complete listing beginning with calendar year 2000, with links to those that are still in effect or that provide historical information.

Please note that a Management Bulletin is mandatory only to the extent that it cites a specific statutory and/or regulatory requirement. Any portion of a Management Bulletin that is not supported by a specific statutory and/or regulatory requirement is not prescriptive pursuant to Education Code, Section 33308.5.

For specific questions related to an individual Management Bulletin, please contact the appropriate staff person listed or the assigned field services consultant.
