Subject:2009-10 California Department of Education State Preschool Program Amendment #3
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
State-amended 2009-10 Funding Terms & Conditions to include new information regarding
program eligibility requirements, admissions policies, and fee schedule.
This proposed amendment decreases the payment limit by $500,000 from the County's
California State Preschool Program revenue contract. The same amount is being added to
the payment limit of the County's General Childcare and Development program revenue
contract. The Department requested this fund transfer based on enrollment trends between
the two programs. This is the first year in which the State consolidated several funding
streams into these two entities; adjustments to transfer funds between the two revenue
streams are allowable during this transition period. The board order to increase the payment
limit of the County's General Childcare and Development revenue contract is also
scheduled for the March 23, 2010 Board meeting.
Approval of the board order will allow the continued provision of full-day preschool
services to program eligible families in Contra Costa County.
