RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment & Human Services Director, or designee, to execute an agreement to accept funding from the California Department of Education for child development instructional materials in an amount not to exceed $3,562 for the period July 1, 2009 through June 30, 2010.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Funding will be appropriated into the Department’s FY 2009-10 budget.
No County costs.

100% Federal funding (CFDA # 93.575)

FISCAL IMPACT: (CONT'D)

CIMS-9059 / 39-848-3

BACKGROUND:

On December 29, 2009 the Employment & Human Services Department received notification of this funding allocation from the California Department of Education. The State routinely identifies and distributes funds to its child development contractors late into the fiscal year for instructional supplies.

Approval of this agreement will allow the Department to purchase instructional materials and supplies for the County’s Child Development Program.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

The Community Services Bureau of the Employment & Human Services Department’s Head Start program 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.
