BACKGROUND:

The California Department of Education notified the Department on June 3, 2015 of the 2015-16 funding allocation for general childcare and development programs. The County receives funds from the California Department of Education to provide state preschool general childcare services to program eligible County residents. The program is operated by the Employment and Human Services Department, Community Services Bureau. The board approved receipt of funds on June 16, 2015. The State routinely adds funds to the award during the program year, as more funds become available. This board order is to approve receipt of additional funds.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If not approved, County will not receive additional funding to operate the childcare & development program.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

The Department of Education General Childcare & Development funding supports three of the community outcomes established in the Children's Report Card: 1) "Children Ready for and Succeeding in School"; 3) "Families that are Economically Self-sufficient"; and, 4) "Families that are Safe, Stable, and Nurturing" by offering comprehensive services, including high quality early childhood education, nutrition, and health services to low-income children throughout Contra Costa County.
