BACKGROUND:

On June 5, 2012, the Board approved and authorized submission of the Head Start Re-competition grant application to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF) to continue the provision of Head Start services in Contra Costa County. The grant included the plan submitted by the County's Head Start Delegate Agency, First Baptist Church of Pittsburg, California. ACF awarded the County a five year operating grant, including County oversight of the Head Start Delegate Agency. The Board Order approved the 2016 Delegate Agency contract on December 15, 2015 (C.74).

The Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF) granted a 1.8% Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) for Head Start program in 2016 to increase the salaries of Head Start staff. The Board approved receipt of funds on June 7, 2016 (C.37). As a Delegate Agency of Head Start, First Baptist will receive a proportionate increase of 1.8% or $36,798 to increase the salaries of its staff.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If not approved, contract will not be executed.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
