RECOMMENDATION(S):

ACCEPT and APPROVE Head Start Policy Council Bylaws for the Community Services Bureau as recommended by the Employment & Human Services Department.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None

BACKGROUND:

This board order accepts the Head Start Policy Council Bylaws for the Community Services Bureau of the Employment & Human Services Department. Head Start Performance Standards 1304.50(d)(1)(ii) require annual Board approval of the Bylaws. Changes made to the 2013 Bylaws include a streamlined version of the document with removed information now included in a supplemental handbook. The Bylaws were reviewed for approval by the Head Start Policy Council on February 19, 2014.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If not approved, Department will not be in compliance with Head Start regulations.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

The Employment & 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.” 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.
