FISCAL IMPACT:
None
No fiscal impact from implementing these recommendations. The funding received anticipates
that part-year classrooms will be closed during the summer months
BACKGROUND:
The Head Start program was designed and funded to operate on a nine-month schedule.
Towards this, several part-year positions are included in the Community Services
Bureau's childcare staffing structure. These positions are budgeted in the Administration
for Children and Families (ACF) grant for the 2009 Head Start program year to cease
employment from May 22, 2009 to August 17, 2009.
In order to keep expenditures within available funding or to keep staffing at the level necessary for
efficient operations, it is necessary to abolish the positions described in Attachment “A-1” on the
dates indicated for reasons of economy, lack of funds or because the necessity for the position(s)
involved no longer exists and to lay off employees accordingly.
Positions required to support the Head Start program in August and September will be re-
established. The positions shown on Attachment “A-2 will be re-established on the dates indicated.
Additionally, the Community Services Bueau has been notified that the First Five funded
School Readiness contract (39-891), which terminates on June 30, 2009, will not be
renewed. Thus, the Bureau seeks to lay off the three (3) employees associated with this
project.
Board resolution regarding the above actions is attached.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
The Employment & Human Services Department Community Services Bureau supports
three 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.
