RE: Request authorization to enter into a subcontract agreement with GISD in the amount of $564,432
recommendation
BOARD ACTION REQUESTED:
Genesee County Community Action Resource Department (GCCARD) requests authorization to enter into a subcontract agreement with the Genesee Intermediate School District for the Great Start Readiness Program to serve 132 preschool children from October 1, 2023 through September 30, 2024 for $564,432.00 for fund 2727.698.01.558 from this committee and recommendation of acceptance by the full Genesee County Board of Commissioners at their next regularly scheduled meeting.
BACKGROUND:
This is the four year old at-risk program that Genesee County Head Start has been operating for the past thirty-two years. Genesee Intermediate School District is receiving these funds directly and subcontracting for program operations. GISD will oversee all GSRP programs. This program will operate in the Atherton, Bendle, Clio, Genesee, Grand Blanc, Kearsley, Montrose, Mt. Morris, and Westwood Heights School Districts. While income is still a factor in the selection of preschool participants, the income guidelines are 200% of the published federal government guidelines. These children are in the Head Start classrooms, allowing for more children to be served in Head Start with more school day programming offered throughout the county with blended funding.
DISCUSSION:
Same as above.
IMPACT ON HUMAN RESOURCES:
No impact on Genesee County Human Resources as staff are contracted through OLHSA.
IMPACT ON BUDGET:
$564,432.00 for fund 2727.698.01.558, 100% federal funding with no Genesee County general fund obligation (See attached budget upload).
IMPACT ON FACILITIES:
This does not impact Genesee County facilities as space is leased.
IMPACT ON TECHNOLOGY:
This does not impact Genesee County technology.
