TO BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
FROM: Ida Daniel Berk, Director, Community Services Department Contra
Costa
DATE: October 7, 1986 C JMY
SUBJECT: Authorization to .Submit Application for Head Start Discretionary Funds
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
APPROVE submission of Supplemental Head Start Grant Application in the amount of
$29,242 (Federal ) and $29,310 non-Federal funds and AUTHORIZE the Director, Community Services
Department, to execute appropriate application documents .
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
No financial impact to County budget other than the addition of Federal funds .
Non-Federal share will be from services and space provided by county school districts . There
will be no additional cost to the County.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION:
Head Start programs on the national , state and local levels are expected to provide
services to not less than ten percent (10%) of the enrolled children who are certified as
requiring special services (services to handicapped children) . In 1986, the County Head
Start Program received a total of $80,063 to provide these services. During the course of
the year, approximately twenty-five percent (25%) of the enrolled children qualified for
special needs services . There is not sufficient funding in our present budget to perform an
adequate job in meeting all of the children's needs.
Occasionally, the. Region IX Office of the Administration for Children, Youth and
Families has additional funds to award to Head Start programs for priority service needs.
This application represents a request for some of these funds . Depending upon Region IX
priorities and the amount of available funds , this application may result in an additional ,
one time only, carant award for all , or part of, the funds requested. As an organization
dedicated to Providing services for children, we must take advantage of this opportunity.
CONSEQUEfJCES QF NEGATIVE ACTION:.
The Head Start Program will be denied the opportunity to apply for additional
funding, and no grant award will be considered without a supplemental application on file.
