June S, 1994 TO: Indian River County Board of Commissioners FROM: The Childrehs Services Advisory -Board SUBJECT: A proposed plan for'Community Child Care Resources The following agenda item is the result of the combined meeting of the Indian River County Board of County Commissioners and the Indian River County School Board. At that meeting the Childrens Services Advisory Board was directed to develop a plan to serve the needs of children at risk in Indian River County. The committee tried to meet as many of the suggestions presented - at that meeting within the monetary constrictions that were perceived at the May meeting and still provide a quality program to meet the special needs of children who live in low income families. Low income families in this instance are families who are working but do not have the ability to provide day care or pre school for their children These families will meet the reduced lunch program at the school district. It has been shown through research that the children of these programs do profit from pre school by having a lower rate of involvement with special schooling, Juvenile Justice system, prisons, and the welfare programs. Those suggestions which were not met at this time will be considered -by the new 501(c) 3 board who will supervise the Community Child Care Resources program.
