On August 18, 2010, the Ontario government published the following regulation and regulatory amendments under the Education Act:

• O. Reg. 321/10 (Extended Day Programs), amending O. Reg. 225/10, which in part provides for board approval of delegation by a principal and the appointment of Early Childhood Educators ("ECEs");
• O. Reg. 322/10 (Letter of Permission – Early Childhood Educators), setting out the criteria for Ministerial permission to appoint ECEs; and
• O. Reg. 323/10 (Full-Day Junior Kindergarten and Kindergarten), amending O. Reg. 224/10, which in part sets out the process for appointing ECE positions in urgent situations.
