Subject:2013/14 Calif. Dept. of Educ. CalWORKS Stage 2 childcare revenue contract, amendment 5
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
through their participation in the CalWORKS program. The State routinely amends these contracts throughout the
program year as more funding becomes available and school calendars are set. The board accepted additional
funding (amendment #1) from CDE on October 15, 2013. Further additional funding (amendment #2) was also
accepted by the board on March 11, 2014. On April 22, 2014, the Board approved another amendment #3 to
change the days of operation from 251 to 250 days. Amendment #4 was approved by the Board on June 3, 2014 to
accept additional funding.
This amendment #5 is to add funds to the contract so that the County may be able to seek further reimbursement
for 2013-2014 program operation. This is an allowable action according to CDE guidelines, Item 6110-194-001 of
the Budget Act of 2013 for CalWORKS Amendment Authority. If not approved, the Department will not receive
the additional funds.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If not approved, County will not be able to seek reimbursement for CalWORKS Stage 2 childcare program costs.
