Early Head Start reports full funded enrollment but flags in-kind shortfall
Summary
Early Head Start presented its February report showing funded and actual enrollment of 94, average daily attendance of 89, four children on the waiting list and a shortfall in in-kind contributions that staff plan to address with a waiver if needed.
At the March 18 meeting the Early Head Start director reported that funded enrollment and actual enrollment were both 94 for February, with an average daily attendance of 89.
Miss Reed, presenting the program report, said the program had four children on a waiting list and that 32 children would transition out of the program at the end of the school year in June. She reported that 5 pregnant women were enrolled, health checks and immunizations were current, and there were no reportable incidents in February. The number of children with disabilities was 9 percent of enrollment; staff said they expect that figure to reach the required 10 percent by June following referrals to Babies Can’t Wait.
Miss Reed told the board that the program’s in-kind contributions were below the required level for the year and that staff plan to pursue a waiver if necessary; the district’s target for in-kind was listed as $114,057. The meeting record shows staff will continue monthly reporting while the program works to clear outstanding expenditures and processing from the prior budget year.
The board voted to accept the Early Head Start report as information and to include it in the minutes.
Ending: Staff will continue monthly updates to the board and, if in-kind contributions are not secured before year-end, will apply for an in-kind waiver.
