RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to seek reimbursement from the California Department of Education in an amount not to exceed $1,794 to maintain Child Days of Enrollment during emergency closure at the County operated site, Las Deltas, during FY 2018-19.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this action will allow the County to maintain Child Days of Enrollment for FY 2018-19, preserving revenue of $1,794 from the California Department of Education.

BACKGROUND:

During FY 2018-19, an emergency closure occurred at one of the County-operated childcare sites, Las Deltas. The closure affected 29 children in total. On October 8, 2018, the center could not operate due to an emergency water shut down that impacted the entire building.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

In order to prevent a loss of funds during this period, the County has the option to submit a Board Order to the State in order to maintain childcare fund reimbursement for the impacted day of closure. This option is allowable per California Department of Education, Child Development Management Bulletin 10-09 "Reduced Days of Operation or Attendance Due to Emergency Conditions."

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If not approved, the County will forego $1,794 in potential revenue.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

The Employment and Human Services Department, Community Services Bureau 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.
