Pre-K Support Contract Amendments January 22, 2008
FISCAL IMPACT:
These contract amendments are funded via the County's receipt of funds from the
California Department of Education. Funding for these contract amendments is
included in the Department's FY 2007-08 budget. No net County costs.
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 September 11, 2007 the Board approved a contract with Kids' Clubs dba. Antioch
Partnership for Quality Childcare, Inc. to provide state preschool / prekindergarten
literacy program services to program eligible County residents. On October 16, 2007,
the Board approved state preschool/prekindergarten literacy contracts with First Baptist
Church of Pittsburg and Richmond Elementary School, Inc. All three of the contracts
are in support of the Department's California Department of Education funded State
Preschool and Prekindergarten Literacy contracts.
Contra Costa County receives funds from the California Department of Education to
provide part-day and full-day state preschool and center childcare services to program
eligible County residents. In order to effectively reach a wider number of residents, the
County contracts with a number of community-based organizations.
Approval of these contract amendments will allow continued provision of
Prekindergarten family literacy services.
