SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(.S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATIONS:
1 . Request Supervisor Schroder to set up meetings with Senator
Dan Boatwright and Assemblyman Bill Baker with the parents
involved in the extended day care programs in the Walnut
Creek School District in order to impress on Senator
Boatwright and Assemblyman Baker the need for legislative
solutions to the licensing problems faced by the parents as
outlined in the Board Chair' s letter of May 20, 1987 to the
Director, State Department of Social Services.
2. Request the County Administrator to report to our Committee

buildings more compatible with the standards established by
the State Department of Education and on any responses
received to the Board Chair' s letter of May 20th to the
Director of the State Department of Social Services.
BACKGROUND:
On April 21, 1987, the Board requested . the County Administrator
to review legislation introduced by Assemblyman Bates to
determine whether it could be amended to relieve some of the
problems identified by the parents and staff of the Walnut Creek
School District. The Board also authorized the Chair to write to
the State Department of Social Services on this issue.
On June 8, 1987, our Committee received a status report from the
County Administrator' s Office indicating that the County' s
lobbyist was still working with staff from the State Department
of Social Services and with Assemblyman Bates ' office in
attempting to identify the exact nature of the problem involved,
and determine whether administrative or legislative action is
required in order to resolve the problem. These conversations
are continuing and no final resolution to the problem has been
identified as yet.

We believe that the parents involved in the extended day care
program in the Walnut Creek School District need to approach
their legislative representatives; mainly Senator Boatwright and
Assemblyman Baker, and solicit their support for any necessary
legislation to resolve the identified problems.
We will make a further report to the Board following our July
13th meeting.
