RECOMMENDATION(S):

The agreement for $80,000 is funded with 50% State 2011 Realignment and 50% Federal Community Based Child Abuse Prevention funds.  










BACKGROUND:

The Crossroads High School Project (Project) will serve pregnant and parenting youth and their children through a culturally and linguistically appropriate approach to inspire 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-student, but the future of their children. The Project will focus on literacy, intervention, healthy lifestyles, mental health support, and college pathways with the goal to ensure positive parenting and self-reliance to break the cycles of poverty, abuse, and violence.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Services could not be provided to support the Family and Children's Trust Committee (FACT) , Crossroads High School Project, supporting pregnant and parenting youth in the Mount Diablo School District.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

This agreement 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 youth and their families.
