RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 22166 to:
- Cancel five (5) vacant Teacher-Project (CJN1) (represented) positions #1185, #16655, #16662, #16661, and #15821, at salary plan and grade QH5 0974 ($3,128 - $3,803), and

- Cancel one (1) vacant Associate Teacher-Project (CJW1) (represented) position #16413, at salary plan and grade QH5 0643 ($2,322 - $2,823), and

- Add two (2) Infant/Toddler Teacher-Project (CJN2) (represented) positions at salary plan and grade QH5 0974 ($3,128 - $3,803), and

RECOMMENDATION(S): (CONT'D)

- Add five (5) Infant/Toddler Associate Teacher-Project (CJW2) (represented) positions at salary plan and grade QH5 0643 ($2,322 - $2,823) in the Employment and Human Services Department, Community Services Bureau.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Upon approval, canceling the six (6) identified teaching positions and adding seven (7) identified teaching positions will result in an annual budget savings of $14,094 which includes an estimated pension cost savings of $440. The positions are 50% Federal/50% State funded.

BACKGROUND:

Employment and Human Services Department, Community Services Bureau is requesting to add Infant/Toddler Teaching personnel to meet the needs of the program and ensure adequate child to adult ratio in the Infant/Toddler classrooms. EHSD will off set the cost by canceling five vacant funded Teacher - Project positions and one vacant funded Associate Teacher - Project position to add two Infant/Toddler Teacher-Project positions and five (5) Infant/Toddler Associate Teacher-Project positions. The Teacher-Project positions and Associate Teacher-Project position to be canceled are not part of the child to adult ratio.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Failure to add the requested teaching positions will impact the Bureau's ability to adequately staff the Early Head Start classrooms and will result in violation of the required child to adult ratio regulations.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Community Services Bureau supports all five (5) outcomes established by the Children's Report Card:(1) Children Ready for and Succeeding in School; (2) Children and Youth Health and Preparing for Productive Adulthood (3) Families that are Economically Self Sufficient; (4) Families that are Stable and Nurturing; and (5) Communities that are Safe and Provide a High Quality of Life for Children and Families. The requested actions will better support all five outcomes.
