RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, on behalf of the Family and Children’s Trust (FACT) Committee, to execute an interagency contract, with modified indemnification language, with the Mount Diablo Unified School District in an amount not to exceed $80,000 for the Crossroads High School Project serving pregnant and parenting youth for the period August 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This agreement is funded with State Realignment Child Abuse Prevention, Intervention, and Treatment (CAPIT) funds (90% State and 10% County).

BACKGROUND:

On April 6, 1985, the Board of Supervisors created the Family and Children’s Trust (FACT) Committee to make funding recommendations on CAPIT funds (AB 1733), Birth Certificate Funds (AB 2994) and Children’s Trust Fund. Later, the Board directed the FACT Committee to make funding recommendations on Child Care Affordability funds and Community-Based Child Abuse Prevention (CBCAP) funds. Funds are for the prevention/amelioration of child abuse and neglect and the promotion of positive family functioning.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

The Board of Supervisors appoints representatives to the FACT Committee; five (5) representatives come from local committees and groups, such as the Mental Health Commission, Local Planning Council and First Five Commission. One representative from each of the five (5) Supervisorial Districts, with each Supervisor recruiting and appointing one representative and (5) at-large members would come from community groups, including, but not limited to, service clubs, faith-based organizations, civic organizations, ethnic/cultural clubs and groups and Parent/Teacher Associations.

The FACT Committee is recommending funding for the Crossroads High School Project (Project). The 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 a 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 Crossroads High School Project, supporting pregnant and parenting youth in the Mount Diablo Unified 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.
