Subject:2011/12 Calif. Dept. of Educ. CalWORKS Stage 2 childcare revenue contract, amendment #3
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
of Education notified the Department on June 23, 2011 of the 2011/12 funding allocation for alternative payment /
CalWORKS Stage 2 childcare services. Approval of this revenue contract will provide 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). An
amendment to decrease the payment limit by $700,000 due to the bureau not meeting enrollment targets for Stage 2
childcare program was approved by the Board on May 15, 2012. This amendment seeks to adjust the minimum Days
of Operation as requested by the State. The State routinely adjusts the minimum days of operation during the program
year as school calendars and other considerations are finalized.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If not approved, County will not have funds to operate CalWORKS Stage 2 childcare program.
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.
