The First 5 Sacramento Commission approved a $48,000 revenue agreement with the Sacramento County Department of Health Services and a matching $48,000 amendment to Sacramento Children’s Home to implement a Spanish-language Parent Leadership Training Institute (PLTI) cohort.

Julie, the commission’s executive director, told commissioners the commission has budgeted for one PLTI cohort per year and that additional funding from public-health CDC dollars would support a full 25-member Spanish-language cohort. She said the funds must be spent by May 30 and that Sacramento Children’s Home will implement the cohort under its existing contract.

A commissioner identified as Dr. K stated a recusal prior to the item because the funding came from public health. The commission proceeded and approved the revenue agreement and contract amendment by roll call.

Staff said the additional cohort will be part of ongoing PLTI offerings and that previous supplemental funding from partners had helped the program run additional cohorts in past years.
