Subject:Emergency childcare site closure - Contra Costa College
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
restored in the afternoon of March 21, 2011 and the center administration notified parents of
the center re-opening on March 22, 2011. The site closure was beyond the control of the
Department's Community Services Bureau, as the events were unforeseen by the
Department and by the Contra Costa College Child Care Center.
The State requires an executed board order from the County Board of Supervisors,
acknowledging that the closure was beyond the control of the Department. Meeting this
requirement will assist the Department to avoid a loss of funds for the days of
non-attendance by the affected children. The closure affected 6 Infants and 15 Toddlers in
CCTR.
The Department seeks authorization to request from the State credited funds for the days of
closure, as permissible by the State Department of Education, Child Development Division
Management Bulletin 10-09, dated October 2010.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If not approved, County will potentially lose $2,359.83.
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.
