CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
The Community Services Bureau of the Employment & Human Services Department's
Head Start program supports three of Contra Costa County's community outcomes -
Outcome 1: "Children Ready for and Succeeding in School," Outcome 3: "Families
that are Economically Self-sufficient," and, Outcome 4: "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:
On November 25, 2008 the Employment & Human Services Department received
notification of this funding allocation from the California Department of Education. The
State routinely identifies and distributes funds to its child development contractors late
into the fiscal year for instructional supplies.
Approval of this agreement will allow the Department to purchase instructional materials
and supplies for the County's Child Development Program.
