RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Resolution No. 2023/27 to approve and authorize the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to apply for the Continued Funding Application from California Department of Education (CDE), and to accept a total payment limit not to exceed $22,398,601 for the California State Preschool Program (CSPP) services for period July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This agreement is funded 100% by State of California Department of Education (CDE) funding and there is no County match required. All of which has been budgeted for the Fiscal Year 2023-2024.

BACKGROUND:

California State Preschool Program (CSPP) funded by California Department of Education (CDE) is a state program that promotes the school readiness of children ages three (3) through five (5) years old from low-income families by enhancing their cognitive, social and emotional development. CSPP provides a learning environment that supports children’s growth in the following domains: Language and literacy; cognition and general knowledge; physical development and health; social and emotional development; and approach to learning. Children and families access these through various service models, including directly operated centers or community partner school/centers that children attend part or full-day.

California Code of Regulations, Title 5 (5CCR) “Contractors that intend to accept the offer to continue services in the subsequent contract period shall respond to a Continued Funding Application (CFA) request from the Child Development Division in accordance with the instructions and timelines specified in the request.” On November 1, 2022, CDE issued Management Bulletin 22-06 notifying CSPP Executive Officers and Program Directors of the Continued Funding Application for the Fiscal Year 2023-2024. By authorizing the signature of Employment and Humans Services Director, the application will meet all requirements for submission of FY 2023-2024 CFA to CDE.

Approval of this Board Order will allow the continued provision of the CSPP services to program eligible children and families.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If not approved, the County will not receive funding to operate California State Preschool Programs (CSPP).

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

This Board Order 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.
