RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the County Local Planning and Advisory Council for Early Care and Education to submit the Contra Costa County Individualized Child Care Subsidy Pilot Plan to the California Department of Education.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No net County cost. The Pilot Plan attempts to access California Department of Education future child care subsidy funds that, due to policies in past years, would have been unearned.

BACKGROUND:

California Education Code (EC) Section 8231 requires that Local Planning Councils prepare a comprehensive countywide child care plan designed to mobilize public and private resources to address identified needs. Projects and activities of the Contra Costa LPC align with legislative intent for Local Planning Councils to serve as a forum to address the child care needs of all families and all child care programs, both subsidized and non-subsidized in Contra Costa County (Ed code Sections 8499.3 and 8499.5).

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On October 17, 2006, the Board of Supervisors referred updates on the Countywide Child Care Plan to the Family and Human Services Committee and the Local Planning and Advisory Council for Early Care and Education has provided annual reports.

Attached is the proposed Local Child Care Policy and Evaluation Plan submitted for the Board's consideration. The plan was produced by the Contra Costa County Local Planning and Advisory Council for Early Care and Education, in partnership with the Contra Costa County Office of Education, First 5 Contra Costa and the Contra Costa County AB 435 Planning Committee. The Board's Family and Human Services (FHS) Committee approved this Plan on June 25, 2018. (Supervisor Gioia was absent from the June 25, 2018 FHS Committee meeting.)
