Subject:Abolish and Restore Positions and Lay off Employees in the EHSD, CSB’s Part Day Program Effective May 15, 2014
BACKGROUND:
The Head Start Center Based and the Home Based programs usually operate on a nine-month schedule. Due to
Sequestration, during the program year 2013-2014, the programs are scheduled to operate on a reduced schedule,
October 1, 2013 through April 30, 2014. Early Childhood Educator-Project positions, funded through the
Administration for Children and Families grant, are eliminated from May 15, 2014 through August 17, 2014.
Teacher –Project will continue to provide services for children enrolled in the Community Services Bureau (CSB)
State Preschool Program and will work throughout the summer months. Funding to support these positions is
available through the CSB contract with the California Department of Education and it is within CSB budget.
In order to keep expenditures within available funding or to keep staffing at the level necessary for efficient
operation, it is necessary to abolish the positions described in Attachment A-1 on the dates indicated for reasons
of economy or lack of funds and to lay off employees accordingly.
Positions required to support the Head Start Home Based programs for the 2014-2015 program year will be
re-established in August as indicated on Attachment A-2.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Failure to close the part-day, part year preschool classrooms and the Home Based Program during the summer
months of 2014, may result in fiscal deficit for the Community Services Bureau of the Employment and Human
Services Department.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
Community Services Bureau supports all five outcomes established by the Children’s Report Card: (1) Children
Ready for and Succeeding in School; (2) Children and Youth Healthy and Preparing for Productive Adulthood;
(3) Families that are Economically Self Sufficient; (4) Families that are Safe, Stable and Nurturing; and (5)
Communities that are Safe and Provide a High Quality of Life for Children and Families. Both the part-day,
part-year Head Start Center Based preschool program and the Home Based Program support all five outcomes
listed above.
