BACKGROUND:

The County receives funds from the California Department of Education (CDE) to provide prekindergarten and family literacy support services to promote and support interactive literacy activities for children and families enrolled in the program. The prekindergarten and family literacy support agreement is an expenditure-only agreement that supplements the California State Preschool Program. Funds are used for education for parents and legal guardians of children in participating classrooms to support the development of their child’s literacy skills. Staff development for teachers in participating classrooms that include: development of a pedagogical knowledge, knowledge and application of developmentally appropriate assessments of the pre-reading skills of children, information on working with families, including the use of on-site coaching, for guided practice, in interactive activities and referrals, as necessary, to providers of instructions in adult education and English as a second language in order to improve the academic skills of parents and legal guardians of children in participating classrooms. The program is operated by the Employment and Human Services Department (EHSD), Community Services Bureau (CSB). During Fiscal Year 2021-2022, ten classrooms serving 178 families and 185 children received prekindergarten and family literacy support services throughout the County.   
  
This Board Order is to accept funds for Fiscal Year 2022-2023 for EHSD to continue providing prekindergarten and family support services. During the term of the revenue agreement, 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.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If not approved, Contra Costa residents eligible to receive these services will not receive prekindergarten and family literacy support services.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

The Employment and Human Services Department Community Services Bureau supports three (3) 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.
