CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
The Community Services Department Head Start Program supports two of
Contra Costa County's community outcomes: "Children Ready for and
Succeeding in School" and "Families that are Safe, Stable and Nurturing."
These outcomes are achieved by offering comprehensive services, including
high quality early childhood education, nutrition, health, and social services,
along with a strong parent involvement focus, to low-income children throughout
Contra Costa County. The overall goal of the program is to bring a greater
degree of social competence in preschool children from low-income families.
The Head Start program allows the County to provide these services to program
eligible children, ages 3 to 5 years.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND
On September 7, 2005, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services,
Administration for Children and Families approved a financial assistance award
for Head Start Supplemental Funding. This funding. is for FY 2005-06. The
Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors approved acceptance of this award
on October 18, 2005. A portion of the supplemental funds awarded to the
County include a One percent (1%) Cost of Living Adjustment in the amount of
$18,821 for First Baptist Church.
Approval of this amendment will allow for COLA adjustments to the First Baptist
Church's Head Start program, which serves program eligible children, ages 3 to
5 years old.
