BACKGROUND:

California Department of Education notified the Department on June 3, 2016 of the 2016-2017 funding allocation for general childcare and development programs. The County receives funds from the California Department of Education to provide state preschool general childcare services to program eligible County residents. The program is operated by the Employment and Human Services Department, Community Services Bureau (CSB). The board approved receipt of funds on June 21, 2016 (C.53).

The State routinely amends the contracts to account for cost of living adjustments and other budgetary changes. The board approved amendment #1 on November 8, 2016 (c.23) to increase the standard reimbursement rate from $38.29 to $40.20, effective January 1, 2017. This amendment is to accept an additional $500,000. A corresponding decrease to CSPP funding is the subject of a companion board order on this agenda. This transfer of funds is to address needs identified in CSBs annual community assessment, which continues to show a greater need to serve Infant/Toddler program. This fiscal year, CSB converted a CSPP classroom into a toddler classroom to meet the needs of the families in one of our East County childcare centers. The request of temporary transfer from CSPP to CCTR will fund the growing needs of families in Contra Costa County.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If not approved, County will not receive additional funding to operate the childcare & development program.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

The Department of Education General Childcare & Development funding supports three of the community outcomes established in the Children's Report Card: 1) "Children Ready for and Succeeding in School"; 3) "Families that are Economically Self-sufficient"; and, 4) "Families that are Safe, Stable, and Nurturing" by offering comprehensive services, including high quality early childhood education, nutrition, and health services to low-income children throughout Contra Costa County.
