RECOMMENDATION(S):

ACCEPT corrective action plan for 2011/12 program year annual Head Start self-assessment as submitted by Employment & Human Services Director.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None

BACKGROUND:

During the period of February 28, 2011 through March 4, 2011, the Community Services Bureau completed the required self-assessment wherein internal processes were examined and evaluated for efficacy. The Head Start Performance Standards [CFR 1304.50(d)(1)(vii) and 1304, Appendix A] require that the Board of Supervisors approve the program's corrective action plan once all of the corrections have been certified by program staff. Program certification was completed on April 27, 2011.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If not approved, Department will not be able to submit required documents to federal agency.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

The Employment & Human Services Department Community Services Bureau supports three of Contra Costa County’s community outcomes - Outcome 1: “Children Ready for and Succeeding in School,” Outcome 3: “Families that are Economically Self-sufficient,” and, Outcome 4: “Families that are Safe, Stable, and Nurturing.” These outcomes are achieved by offering comprehensive services, including high quality early childhood education, nutrition, and health services to low-income children throughout Contra Costa County.
