APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to execute a revenue agreement with the California Department of Education to accept funding in an amount not to exceed $16,424,131 for State Preschool services for the period July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023.

FISCAL IMPACT:

$16,424,131: County to receive total funding in the amount of $16,424,131, all of which has been budgeted in FY 2022-2023. Revenue is 100% State funds through the California Department of Education (CDE), State Agreement Number CSPP-2051-00. No County match is required.

BACKGROUND:

The County receives funds from the California Department of Education (CDE) to provide preschool services to program-eligible families for children ages 3-5 years old. In order to be program-eligible, families must meet at least one (1) of these eligibility criteria: receiving cash-aid, income eligible, experiencing homelessness, or recipients of protective services or at risk of being abused, neglected or exploited. For Full-Day services, families must have an established need for child care in addition to meeting eligibility criteria. The program is operated by the Employment and Human Services Department (EHSD), Community Services Bureau (CSB). During Fiscal Year 2021-2022, approximately 1,098 families and 1,163 children received preschool services throughout the County.

This Board Order is to accept funds for Fiscal Year 2022-2023 for EHSD to continue providing preschool services. During the term of the revenue agreement, the contract rate, the Minimum Days of Operations (MDO) and the Maximum Reimbursable Amount (MRA) may be adjusted by CDE State Agency through an Allocation Letter issued to Contra Costa County Employment and Human Services Department.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If not approved, Contra Costa residents eligible to receive preschool services will not receive these services.
