RECOMMENDATION(S):

ACCEPT and APPROVE the Head Start 2018 Self-Assessment Report and Corrective Action Plan, as recommended by the Employment and Human Services Director.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None.

BACKGROUND:

The Head Start Act of 2007 (Section 641A (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 of February 26, 2018 through March 2, 2018, the Community Services Bureau of the Employment & Human Services Department, completed the required self-assessment wherein internal processes were examined and evaluated for efficacy. The Head Start 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. Certification verification was completed on May 2, 2018.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION: (CONT'D)
