Joan Sparks Subject: Board Order-A sistant HS Program Manager Since we ane going to discuss Us issue this afternoon,I thought I should fax this memo to hopefully resolve sorne.of your concerns. 1. The Board Order in 1992 reclassified the coordinators at the Central Grantee Office(Education,Health, Social Services etc.)into Head Start Manager Assistant positions as prescribed by ACF. This has already been done. 2. The new Board Order that you are holding creates the positron of Head Start Program Manager Assistant, a new position that would be the actual assistant to the Program Manager. This position was created by the Head Start Policy Council, September 27, 1993,and approved by the Board of Supervisors as apart of the Grant and the Regional Office supported and approved this position as apart of the Grant. In addition,I have attached two pages from the funding guidance for the supplemental grant applications. We are in line with the funding guidance,please see page 4. The Executive Committee is aware that this Board Order is scheduled to be before the Supervisors. I discussed this position with Phil Batchelor during my meeting with him on the department activities in January.
