SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)3 BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION I . RECOMMENDATION: Authorize the Executive Director, Contra Costa County Private Industry Council to accept a $3, 500 School to Work subgrant with the Alameda County Office of Education to reimburse the Contra Costa PIC Department in participating in an East Bay School to Career Partnership Grant award jointly funded by the US Departments of Education and Labor. II . FINANCIAL IMPACT: None. One hundred percent Federal funds. III . REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND: For some time the Alameda County business and education communities have been planning a school to work program in preparation for anticipated federal grants. Similar efforts were in the planning stages in Contra Costa County. As a result of the East Bay corridor project, the Alameda County effort was extended into the West Contra Costa County area. When the federal register school to work grant application was released, consensus soon formed that a single cooperative grant application for the East Bay (Alameda and Contra Costa location) would be more competitive than two or more grant applications for parts of the two counties. This partnership applied for and received a 5 year $4 .7 million federal grant commitment under the school to work opportunities Act; Alameda County Office of Education is the fisc alage 14 age .

Should the State of California sucessfully apply for state status as a school to work state, the federal funds would cease and successful reapplication to the State would be required for funding continuation.
