Subject:Appropriation and Revenue Adjustment for EHSD/Community Services Head Start
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
of the FY 2009 Appropriation process, Congress has provided permanent funding beginning FY 2009 to cover the
3.06% Cost-of-living Adjustment (COLA) increase to Head Start programs. On July 21, 2009, the Board of
Supervisors approved the 3.06% Cost-of-living Adjustment to all eligible Head Start staff. Project period is January
1 through December 31, 2009.
2. ARRA Cost-of-living Adjustment (COLA) amounting to $336,207 - The American Recovery and Reinvestment
Act provided this one-time funding to pay for unfunded COLA previously awarded by the County. Project period is
July 1, 2009 through June 30, 2010.
3. ARRA Quality Improvement (QI) funds amounting to $796,551 - The Bureau received one-time ARRA funding
to provide education and professional development to enable teachers to be fully competent to meet the professional
standards established under the Head Start Act, and to ensure that the physical environments of Head Start program
are conducive to providing effective program services to children and families. Project period is July 1, 2009 through
September 30, 2010.
4. Program Improvement (PI) funds amounting to $199,317 - The Bureau received this one-time supplemental
funding for the purchase of playground equipment at Brookside Childcare Center, E-learning System, emergency
supplies, child safety and attendance tracking system, and to install security cameras at 3 childcare facilities. Project
period is January 1 through December 31, 2009. Due to the late award of the grant, the Bureau has requested ACF to
extend the project period through December 31, 2010.
The Department has allocated $1,731,892 for FY 2009-10 out of $1,891,202, total funding available. The remaining
balance of $159,310 will be allocated for services in FY 2010 - 2011.
Approving these specific adjustments will permit the Department to meet its staffing and service delivery needs as
required by the grant awards.
