RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE the revised 2019-2021 Policies and Procedures for the Head Start program, as recommended by the Employment and Human Services Director.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There are no fiscal impacts.

BACKGROUND:

Head Start Performance Standard 1302.10 mandates that the Head Start grantee set criteria, based on a community assessment, that define types of children and families who will be given priority for recruitment and selection. It also requires annual approval of written plans for implementing services which is described within the Policies and Procedures manual. This board order accepts the Community Services Bureau Policies and Procedures for the 2019-2021 program years. The document will be reviewed for approval by the Head Start Policy Council on August 21, 2019. If the Council makes any revisions to the manual, it will come back to the Board for final approval.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If not approved, Department will not be in compliance with Head Start regulations.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

The Employment and 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.
