RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Department Director, or designee, to execute a contract to accept funding from the California Department of Education in an amount not to exceed $27,500 to fund pre-kindergarten and family literacy program support services for the term July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This agreement is funded 100% by State California Department of Education funding and there is no County match required. The State contract number is CPKS 0007; the County contract number is 39-896-13.

BACKGROUND:

The California Department of Education notified the Department on June 2, 2020 of the 2020-21 funding allocation. This revenue contract will provide support funds for pre-kindergarten and family literacy services to program eligible children and families.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If not approved, County will not receive funding to operate this early childhood education program.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

The Employment and Human Services Department, Community Services Bureau, 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 childhood education, nutrition, and health services to low-income children throughout Contra Costa County.
