BACKGROUND:
The Bureau's Community Needs Assessment as well as the growing center-based family waitlist is
indicating that the parental need for home-based services is diminishing. as more parents are !
requiring center-based care. The current center-based waitlist stands at approximately 3.000
children while the home-based waitlist currently has 100 children county-wide.
The Bureau is planning to abolish home visiting slots throughout the county, thereby resulting in the 1
abolishment of three part-year Early Childhood Home Educator positions. The Bureau will establish
new teaching positions in the summerof 2007 to address the growing needs of center-based care.
The displaced Home Educators have the opportunity to apply for any position within the Bureau for
which they qualify and will have bidding rights for any vacant position within that classification.
