Approval of Grant Award Extension #28-780-1 will allow the County to continue to provide elementary and High School based asthma management classes and home visits to children who have asthma in the Kaiser Diablo service area through January 1, 2010.

Three sealed and certified copies of the Board should be returned to the Contracts and Grants Unit.
