(Budgeted, 100% Federal funds) FINANCIAL IMPACT: The cost of this contract is funded by the Department's Head Start Program and is included in the Community Services Department's FY 2006-07 budget. There is no net County cost to this contract. CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT: The Community Services Department's Head Start program supports two of Contra Costa County's community outcomes: "Children Ready for and Succeeding in School" and "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. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND On April 11, 2006 the Board of Supervisors approved a contract in the amount of$25,000 for Catholic Charities to provide specialized training and support services to assist entry level Department employees who speak English as a Second Language (ESL) to obtain the required educational college classes to meet State licensing requirements for the Head Start Program. The program has gone well and additional need for this service has been identified. Expansion of this program will allow the Department to better meet Head Start standards and State licensing requirements regarding degree obtainment for early childhood education teachers.
