BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: N/A
DISCUSSION: In September 2003, the Chula Vista Public Library, in collaboration
with the Chula Vista Elementary School District, was awarded a four-year California
Department of Education Even Start Familv Literacv Proqram grant. Even Start is a
federally funded, intergenerational family literacy program. It is designed to provide
intensive in-home and center-based services to parents and their young children
considered at high risk for future academic failure and continuing cycles of poverty.
The Library partners with the Chula Vista Elementary School District, which is the
primary agency providing Even Start family literacy services. The Library intends to
pass $5,833 in grant augmentation funds through to the District to pay for program
activities and supplies.
DECISION MAKER CONFLICTS: Staff has reviewed the decision contemplated by
this action and has determined that it is not site specific and consequently the 500 foot
rule found in California Code of Regulations section 18704.2(a)(1) is not applicable to
this decision.
FISCAL IMPACT: There is no impact to the General Fund. An additional one-time
augmentation in the amount of $5,833 will be appropriated into the current year Even
Start grant budget. These funds will be passed through to our partner agency, the
Chula Vista Elementary School District to pay for program activities and supplies.
