CFDA #93.575 ($418,414) and 93.596 ($910,268)

FISCAL IMPACT: (CONT'D)

State Agreement No. CCTR 7025 / Amend 1
County No. 39-801-42

BACKGROUND:

California Department of Education notified the Department on June 5, 2017 of the 2017-2018 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 Board approved the contract at its June 20, 2017 meeting (C.42). The State routinely amends these agreements throughout the program year as more funding becomes available and the school calendars are finalized. This contract amendment is to increase the daily rate per child day of enrollment from $40.20 to $45.44, and to change the minimum days of school operation from 250 to 249.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If not approved, the County will not receive funding to operate the childcare and 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.
