2. The state Pre-K Coordinator will determine potential dates for the technical assistance meeting with the WV Universal Pre-K Steering Team.
3. The state Pre-K Coordinator will contact the county Pre-K Coordinator to schedule the technical assistance meeting details, including date, time, and agenda items.
4. The county Pre-K Coordinator will provide the state Pre-K Coordinator and county collaborative core team members with additional agenda items.
5. The technical assistance meeting will be conducted with members of the county collaborative core team and the WV Universal Pre-K Steering Team.
