IV. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND:
The California Department of Education has announced that additional funding is available for the 2000-11
Fiscal Year. Funds will be distributed via a Request for Applications {RFA} process for the expansion of
child care and development services and facilities for children and families in California. This new funding
is available for State Preschool programs, and for relocatable facilities needed to house applicant's new or
expanding program.
Approval of these contract applications will allow the Community Services Department's Family and
Children's Services Division to expand its existing State Preschool programs to meet the early child care
and education needs of low-income families with children who are not currently served. Facilities funding
is reserved for applicants whose contract applications have been approved. These applications conform to
the priorities set by the Local Child Care Planning Council.
