Rules Committee recommends two appointments to Child Care Planning and Advisory Council

San Francisco Board of Supervisors Rules Committee · June 5, 2014

Summary

The committee recommended reappointment of Sandy Blechman and advanced a parent/consumer nomination (Rosalyn Martis) for CPAC seats; Blechman emphasized her work at Children’s Council serving roughly 15,000 families annually and CPAC’s role in early care and education policy.

The Rules Committee recommended the Board of Supervisors confirm two appointments to the Child Care Planning and Advisory Council (CPAC).

Sandy Blechman, executive director of the Children's Council, summarized her experience running a resource-and-referral agency that helps roughly 15,000 families a year find child care, secures subsidies for low-income families and supports family child-care homes. Blechman said she has chaired CPAC subcommittees and helped develop recommendations for reauthorizing the Children's Fund and related programs.

Erica Maybaum, CPAC coordinator, spoke on behalf of Roslyn Martis (unable to attend) in support of Martis for a District 10 parent/consumer seat. Maybaum said the consumer seat is difficult to fill and that Martis brings direct experience as a childcare consumer and a paraprofessional at Charles Olugb? College Prep Elementary (transcript spelling uncertain) and can provide essential parent perspective.

Supervisors expressed support and, with no objection, the committee passed positive recommendations to the full Board.
