School board approves Head Start contract renewal and COLA allocations
Summary
The board unanimously approved a July–December renewal for the East Little Family Center contract, COLA disbursements of $14,816 and $8,330 to delegate agencies, and a Head Start carryover request to repurpose underused funds for upcoming needs.
The Toledo City school board approved four education items related to Head Start funding and contracts at its June 23 meeting.
Miss Barnes asked the board to approve a July–December renewal of the East Little Family Center contract to align the agreement with the grant cycle and move to an annual contract thereafter. She also presented two COLA allocations for Head Start delegate agencies — $14,816 to Great Lakes Community Action Agency and $8,330 to the Lucas County Family Council — and a Head Start carryover request to use under‑budget funds (from items such as roofing and transportation) for the coming program period. "I'd like to request a motion to approve the East Little Family Center contract," Miss Barnes said when presenting the first item.
Each item (10.01–10.04) was moved, seconded and approved by roll call. The board recorded affirmative votes for members present on each motion. The items are intended to keep local Head Start services synchronized with grant cycles and to allocate additional COLA funds and carryover dollars where the program identified under‑spending.
Board members did not record substantive debate on the motions; the meeting proceeded to the early childhood information reports after the votes. Next procedural steps include staff implementing the contract renewal and processing the COLA and carryover allocations through district finance.
