A. Head Start/Early Head Start Continuation Application, $15,073,902 requested from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, along with a required $3,362,153 cash match from the District, and in-kind contribution of $406,323, for a total of $18,842,378.
A copy of the Grant Application is available at the Board members' Office on the 14th floor of the K. C. Wright Administration Center, and the executive summary is available online via the Broward County Public Schools eAgenda at: http://eagenda3.broward.k12.fl.us/cgi-bin/WebObjects/eAgenda.
The positive financial impact is $15,073,902 from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. These funds ($15,073,902) will cover 80% of the Head Start/Early Head Start program's cost. Receipt of the $15,073,902 is contingent upon the District providing the required 20% match (approximately $3,768,476). The required cash match will total approximately $3,362,153. The exact amount of cash match may vary based upon negotiated pay raises and changes in staff's positions. Funds for the required cash match will be allocated from Fund Number 1010, General Grant Match. The in-kind contribution totals $406,323. The source of in-kind contributions is reached through parents' contributions, the number of volunteers' hours dedicated to the classrooms, and the District's building depreciation values.
