Spark Director, Community Services Department SUBJECT: Head Start, Family Service Center This is to advise you that the Community Services Department intends to terminate' the Head Start Family Service Center grant effective May 29, 1992 . In addition, we do not intend to submit an application for the third year of the project: We are taking this action because during the 18 months we have operated this program we have not been able to achieve the Program goals required by our federal grant. ' The failure of supporting agenciesto provide agreed upon services has significantly hampered our efforts to achieve these goals. In addition, we have experienced %a high staff turnover rate during the life of this program. As a result, we have been unable to provide either the required services or the necessary level of staff'' continuity and expertise to provide required services. After consulting with the grantor agency, the Administration for Children and Families (ACS") in Washington, D.C. , we mutually agreed that it would be in the best interest of all parties (including the County) if we terminated the program at this time. Termination of the Family Service Center Program will require the release of two Permanent Project employees, We have advised Personnel of this requirement and are working with them on this issue: JVS:MJW;'jm
