Appling County tables Heart of Georgia Head Start language-access resolution pending clarification
Summary
Heart of Georgia submitted a revised Language Access Plan for a Head Start expansion after noting an oversight about increasing Spanish-speaking residents; the board voted unanimously to table the matter so staff can clarify paperwork.
Appling County commissioners on April 4 tabled consideration of a Language Access Plan and related resolution submitted by Heart of Georgia for a Community Development Block Grant Head Start expansion.
County Clerk Robyn Evans told the board Heart of Georgia staff had sent revised materials after acknowledging an oversight relating to an increase in Spanish-speaking residents in the service area. According to the minutes, Heart of Georgia "sent County Clerk Evans new materials to be reviewed, approved and signed" and the organization submitted a new resolution intended to address the issue.
Commissioner Doug Harris raised questions about the paperwork and moved to table the item until clarification is received; Commissioner Randy Sellers seconded the motion, and it was approved unanimously.
The minutes do not record the specific points Commissioner Harris sought clarified; county staff and Heart of Georgia will need to provide the requested details before the board revisits the resolution.
