Catholic Charities Contract January 9, 2006
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
The Community Services Department's 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, and health services to low-
income children throughout Contra Costa County.
BACKGROUND:
This proposed contract with Catholic Charities of the East Bay will provide specialized
training and support services to assist entry level department employees who speak
English as a Second Language (ESL) to obtain the required educational college
classes to meet State licensing and Head Start program regulations. The tutorial
classes and small group sessions will help the employees meet the educational
requirements, which, in turn, will help the department meet state and federally
mandated goals.
