SUBJECT: CY 84 Headstart Expansion Application
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
REQUEST
APPROVE CY 84 Headstart Expansion and AUTHORIZE, Director of Community Services
Department to EXECUTE and SUBMIT necessary application documents.
BACKGROUND
For Federal Fiscal year 1984 congress allocated approximately 75 million dollars to be
used to expand the Head Start program nationwide. Although each state has received a
guideline for expansion, based on the Federal allocation, projects to expand the Head
Start program has been placed on a competitive application basis with grant award
decisions to be made on the national instead of the customary regional basis.
Priorities for funding are based on need (percentage of unserved children), innovative
program design, and cost effectiveness.
The County Head Start Program proposes to provide services for an additional 171 children.
The proposal addresses the needs and the priority areas in the county. The present
application proposes to expand five of the existing Head Start delegate agencies (155
children) and add one new agency which will serve 16 children and serve as a demonstration
class for the Grantee Service area.
Application costs are divided into two (2) categories: Program Operation costs and
Start Up costs.
Summarized, the application will be submitted as follows:
