County
Subject:Starlight Academy III 2009-10 childcare services contract
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
Head Start services to program eligible County residents. Contra Costa also receives funds
from California Department of Education (CDE) to provide State Preschool services to
program eligible County residents.
The Board approved receipt of funds from ACF on September 16, 2008. The receipt of
funds from CDE is in process and will be finalized upon determination of the State budget
in the coming weeks.
In order to provide a wider distribution of services to County residents, the Department
contracts with a number of community-based organizations. Approval of this contract will
allow the provision of Head Start program enhancement services to twenty-two (22)
program eligible children and families. State Preschool Pre-kindergarten Family Literacy
services will be provided to sixteen (16) program eligible children and families. Given the
current State budget crisis, it is feasible that the State funded portion of the contract may be
subject to reduction, based on the outcome of the State budget process.
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.
