RECOMMENDATION(S):

ACCEPT and APPROVE the Head Start 2019-2020 Self Assessment Report and Corrective Action Plan, as recommended by the Employment and Human Services Department Director.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact.

BACKGROUND:

The Head Start Act of 2007 (Section 641 A (g)(1)(2)(B)) requires the Board of Supervisors to approve the Head Start Grantee corrective action plan in response to the annual self-assessment completed by the department. During the period December 10, 2019 through December 13, 2029, the Employment and Human Services Department Community Services Bureau completed the required self-assessment wherein internal processes were examined and evaluated for efficacy. The Head Starr performance Standards (CFR 1302.102(b)(2)(i-iii)) require that the Board of Supervisors approve the program's corrective action plan once all of the corrections have been certified by program staff.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If not approved, the Department will not be able to submit required documents to the Office of Head Start.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

This board order supports three of Contra Costa County's community outcomes:(1) "Children Ready for and Succeeding in School"; (3) "Families that are Economically Self Sufficient"; and, (4) "Families that are Safe, Stable, and Nurturing". The 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.
