Dept. of Educ. CalWORKS Stage 2 childcare revenue contract, amendment #2 BACKGROUND: (CONT'D) support funds for CalWORKS Stage 2 childcare services to program eligible children and families. The State routinely amends these agreements to add funds and/or to update funding terms and conditions. On September 13, 2011, the Board approved an amendment to accept additional funds from the State and to increase the child's eligility age (from 11 years to 13 years). This amendment is to decrease the payment limit by $700,000 due to the bureau not meeting enrollment targets for Stage 2 childcare program. CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION: If not approved, County will not have funds to operate CalWORKS Stage 2 childcare program.
