RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment & Human Services Department Director, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with the California Department of Education to increase the payment limit by $4,735 for a new payment limit not to exceed $296,045, for full-day Pre-Kindergarten Family Literacy program services with no change to the term July 1, 2008 through June 30, 2009.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No County costs. 100% State funding

BACKGROUND:

On August 12, 2008 the Board of Supervisors accepted funding from the California Department of Education to fund Pre-Kindergarten Family Literacy programs in Contra Costa County. This amendment is to restore funds not included in the original contract due to state budget constraints at the time. Approval of this amendment will allow for continued program services to program eligible children and families.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

The Community Services Bureau of the Employment & Human Services Department's Head Start and Child Development programs supports three of Contra Costa County's community outcomes. Outcome 1: "Children Ready for Succeeding in School," Outcome 3: "Families that are Economically Self-sufficient," and, Outcome 4: "Families that are Safe, Stable, and Nurturing." These outcomes are achieved by offering comprehensive services, including high quality early childhood education, nutrition, and health services to low-income children throughout Contra Costa County.
