BACKGROUND:

The California Department of Education notified the Department on June 3, 2015 of the 2015-16 funding allocation of the California State Preschool program services. The County receives funds from the California Department of Education to provide state preschool services to program eligible County residents. The program is operated by the Employment and Human Services Department, Community Services Bureau. The board approved receipt of funding on June 15, 2016. Throughout the program year, the State routinely adds funds to the program. The board approved an initial amendment to this grant on January 19, 2016 (C.33) to accept additional funds. This board order seeks to decrease the payment limit and a corresponding decrease in the Child Days of Enrollment, from 236,783 to 223,547.

The Department agreed to this $509,986 contract reduction. Of this amount, $210,00 will be transferred to the County's General Childcare and Development Program contract and $299,986 will be transferred back to the State voluntarily. The payment reduction is due to the unanticipated contract termination of the County's sub-contractor, Antioch Kids' Club, which led to under-earnings in the County's California State Preschool Program revenue agreement with the Department of Education.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If not approved, County will not receive funding to operate these childcare programs.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

The Employment and Human Services Department, Community Services Bureau supports three of the community outcomes established in the Children's Report Card: 1) "Children Ready for and Succeeding in School"; 3) "Families that are Economically Self-sufficient"; and, 4) "Families that are Safe, Stable, and Nurturing" by offering comprehensive services, including high quality early childhood education, nutrition, and health services to low-income children throughout Contra Costa County.
