RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services director, or designee, to execute a contract containing modified indemnification language with Mt. Diablo Unified School District in an amount not to exceed $80,000 for the Family and Children Trust's (FACT) Crossroads High School Project for the period July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018.

FISCAL IMPACT:

$80,000: 100% State

BACKGROUND:

The Crossroads High School Project (Project) will serve pregnant and parenting youth and their children through a culturally and linguistically appropriate approach that inspires academic achievement, intellectual development, and self-sufficiency. Collaboration between the school based comprehensive program, County, and community agencies allows the Project to create comprehensive strategies to improve, not only the future of the parent-students , but the future of their children. The Project will focus on literacy, intervention, healthy lifestyles, mental health support, and college and career pathways with a goal to insure positive parenting and self reliance to break cycles of poverty, abuse, and violence.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The County would be unable to deliver services through FACT to Crossroads High School Project for services to pregnant and parenting teens.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

The contract will support three of the five community outcomes established in the Children's Report Card: 3) "Families that are Economically Self Sufficient 4) "Families that are Safe, Stable and Nurturing"; and, 5) "Communities that are Safe and Provide a High Quality of Life for Children and Families" by providing education and building self esteem for pregnant and parenting teems.
