CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
The Community Services Bureau of the Employment & Human Services Department's
Head Start program supports three of Contra Costa County's community outcomes -
Outcome 1: "Children Ready for and Succeeding in School," Outcome 3: "Families
that are Economically Self-sufficient," and, Outcome 4: "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.
BACKGROUND:
Contra Costa County receives funds from the California Department of Education to
provide part-day and full-day state preschool and center childcare services to program
eligible County residents. In order to effectively reach a wider number of residents, the
County contracts with a number of community-based organizations.
On September 25, 2007 the Board approved a contract with First Baptist Church of
Pittsburg to provide State Preschool services to program eligible County residents at
the County-owned facility, Fairgrounds Children's Center. The contract is in support of
the Department's California Department of Education funded State Preschool contract.
On January 8, 2008 the Board approved the County's receipt of increased funds from
the State for the State Preschool programs. The contract amendment subject to this
board order will be funded by the County's receipt of these funds.
Approval of this contract amendment will allow continued provision of State Preschool
program services at Fairgrounds Children's Center.
