RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE the revised 2014-15 Policies and Procedures and Service Plan for the Head Start program of the Employment & Human Services Department, Community Services Bureau.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None

BACKGROUND:

Head Start Performance Standard 1305.3 (c) (6) mandates that the Head Start grantee set criteria, based on a community assessment, that define types of children and families who will be given priority for recruitment and selection. It also requires annual approval of written plans for implementing services which is described within the Policies and Procedures manual. This board order accepts the Head Start Policies and Procedures and Service Plan for the 2014-15 program year. The document was reviewed and approved by the Head Start Policy Council on February 18, 2015.

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.
