Title
Vote to approve an amendment to extend the termination date of the Early Childhood Community Assessment and Action Plan contract between Chatham County Partnership for Children and Chatham County
Abstract
Introduction & Background:
The Chatham Partnership for Children has requested an extension of the Early Childhood Community Assessment and Action Plan contract to June 30th, 2024.
Discussion & Analysis:
The project scope associated with this contract aligns with a priority of the ARPA plan approved by the Board of Commissioners.
The proposed agreement extension is intended to enable additional time:
(1) for the Program Director of the project to complete the remain “Implementation Action Plan”, which is an additional, non-fiscal, element of the action plan to the portion of the fiscal-related element of the action plan that was presented to the Board of Commissioners at the January budget retreat. The non-fiscal element of the plan involves components such as community and partnership engagement and collaboration.
(2) to complete five short videos from hours of raw video footage that will be used to promote the education fund to potential partners.
How does this relate to the Comprehensive Plan:
Providing high-quality education and community options for all ages and incomes that positively impact on indicators such as graduation rates and income level is a stated objective of the Comprehensive Plan. The subject project is intended to provide a comprehensive analysis of the county’s early childhood environment, and to offer recommendations for improving this environment to advance this objective.
Budgetary Impact: None
Recommendation/Motion: Motion to approve the amendment of the Early Childhood Community Assessment and Action Plan contract between Chatham County Partnership for Children and Chatham County.
