Board authorizes letter backing North Coast Opportunities Head Start funding
Summary
The Board of Supervisors approved a letter of support for the North Coast Opportunities Head Start Child Development Program and authorized the board chair to sign, to encourage elected officials to support Head Start funding.
The Lake County Board of Supervisors on March 4 voted to approve a letter of support for North Coast Opportunities’ Head Start Child Development Program and authorized the board chair to sign the letter to elected officials in Washington, D.C.
Supervisor sponsors confirmed that the letter will be directed to appropriate elected representatives in support of federal funding for Head Start. The board chair and a supervisor noted that names of recipients could be added later; the motion as carried authorized the chair to sign and send the letter.
A motion to approve the letter and to authorize the chair to sign was moved and seconded; the board recorded the vote as "Aye" and the motion carried. No public speakers addressed the item during the board’s discussion.
The board did not attach budgetary instructions to the letter; it is a public-advocacy action expressing county support for the program and its funding requests.
