There is no fiscal impact.
BACKGROUND:
The Community Services Bureau (CSB) is proposing permanently eliminating Home Based Program services, effective June 14, 2019. The one Early Childhood Educator-Project position would be permanently eliminated, as well. The twelve (12) Home-Based slots will be relocated to twelve (12) Head Start Center Based slots. Thus, there will be no loss of slots/services and CSB will be able to meet the growing need for Center Based services. This Board Order is to request this subject matter be referred to the Family and Human Services Committee for discussion.
