RECOMMENDATION(S):

ACCEPT the 2017 report on the Local Planning and Advisory Council for Early Care and Education activities and countywide plan for early care and education.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No fiscal impact.

BACKGROUND:

California Education Code (EC) Section 8231 requires that Local Planning Councils (LPC) prepare a comprehensive countywide child care plan designed to mobilize public and private resources to address identified needs. Projects and activities of the Contra Costa LPC align with legislative intent for Local Planning Councils to serve as a forum to address the child care needs of all families and all child care programs, both subsidized and non-subsidized in Contra Costa County (Ed code Sections 8499.3 and 8499.5).

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

The Board of Supervisors (Board) referred updates on the activities of the Local Planning and Advisory Council for Early Care and Education (formerly known as the Local Planning Council for Child Care Development) to the Family and Human Services Committee (F&HS) on January 17, 2006. On October 17, 2006, the Board referred updates on the Countywide Child Care Plan to the F&HS. These reports are typically brought to the F&HS separately, but this year the County Office of Education compiled both reports into one.

The Family and Human Services Committee reviewed and accepted the attached report at its August 28, 2017 meeting.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The Board will not receive its annual update on the Local Planning Council's activities and child care plan.
