APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Community Services Director, or designee, to temporarily close part-day, part-year pre-school classrooms during the low-enrollment summer period effective May 24, 2006. B. ABOLISH project positions as specified in Attachment A, A-1. C. RE-ESTABLISH project positions as specified in Attachment A, A-1. FINANCIAL IMPACT: These positions are funded by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF). In order to keep expenditures within available funding and to keep staffing at the level necessary for efficient operations, it is necessary to abolish and re-establish the positions described in Attachment A-1 on the dates indicated. This action is being taken in compliance with the funding requirements of the Head Start grant and has no adverse financial impact on the Department. CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT: The Community Services Department's Head Start program supports two of Contra Costa County's community outcomes: "Children Ready for and Succeeding in School" and "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. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND: Since 1965, with the exception of FY 2002, the Community Services Head Start Program, in accordance with funding source regulations, suspends part-day operations during low-enrollment summer months. This year, the Department proposes to close part-day Head Start classrooms during low-enrollment summer months beginning May 24, 2006 and implement corresponding staff layoffs. Because of additional federal requirements, several staff will continue working to complete related assignments through June 30, 2006.
