RECOMMENDATION(S):

ACCEPT and APPROVE the 2016 program year annual Head Start self-assessment as submitted and as recommended by Employment & Human Services Director.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None.

BACKGROUND:

The Head Start Act of 2007 (Section 641A (g)(1)(2)(B)) requires Board approval of the Head Start Grantee corrective action plan in response to the annual self-assessment completed by the Department. During the period of February 29, 2016 through March 31, 2016, the Community Services Bureau completed the required self-assessment wherein internal processes were examined and evaluated for efficacy. The Head Start Performance Standards [CFR 1304.50(d)(1)(vii) and 1304, Appendix A] requires 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, Department will not be able to submit required documents to federal agency.

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.
