SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATIONS:
1 . Accept this report from the Internal Operations Committee on
the status of planning for meeting the child care needs in
Contra Costa County.
2 . Add a seat to the Child Care Task Force for a member of the
Special Education Local Plan Area ( SELPA) operated out of
the County Office of Education because of the close
relationship which should exist between the SELPA, the
County and Child Care Providers and parents in order to make
efficient and appropriate use of the child care resources
which are available to assist the children in this County.
BACKGROUND:
The Board of Supervisors has appointed a Child Care Task Force to
develop priorities for the expenditure of the new federal child
care dollars which are being made available this year. The plan
for the expenditure of these funds was forwarded to the State
Department of Education by August 28, 1991. The Task Force is
now continuing to monitor the implementation of those federal
dollars in the County, implementing State legislation and is
gathering data on the child care activities which are being
undertaken by the County and cities as well as private sector in
the County.

At the Task Force' s meeting on September 23, 1991, the Task Force
heard a presentation from the Director of the SELPA, which
represents and coordinated special education activities in all
school districts in the County except for the Richmond and Mt.
Diablo Unified School Districts.
The Task Force also received and will be reviewing an update of
the 1985 Child Care Plan which was presented to the Board of
Supervisors. The Task Force will present this updated Plan to
the Board upon completion of their review.
The Task Force is also reviewing legislation which will implement
the new federal .child care funds in the County. This legislation
will provide the encouragement and opportunity for the County to
prepare not only an assessment of the child care needs in the
County, but also a mechanism for beginning to meet those needs.
Our Committee will continue to make regular reports to the Board
of Supervisors following each such meeting.
