Board approves Early Head Start 2026-27 funding application
Summary
The CDS-CC board unanimously approved the agency's Early Head Start 2026-2027 funding application after a presentation on program needs and staffing supports.
At the March 25 meeting, Early Head Start Manager Ashley King presented the agency's 2026-2027 Early Head Start funding application and explained how the award would support home visiting, staff safety, and coaching services for families.
Board Member Bertine Bahige moved to approve the funding application; Board Member Ruth Cloud seconded and the motion carried by unanimous vote. The board's action authorizes agency staff to submit the application as presented and proceed with any subsequent administrative steps required by the funding source.
King also described a proposed Verizon Wireless contract (discussed in the same agenda item) to provide each home visitor a cell phone, a change King said would enhance staff safety, compliance, coordination, and capability to deliver app-based coaching to families.
