This grant was for a period <br />of one year, beginning July 1, 1999. Healthy Start has completed and signed a grant <br />agreement to extend this program for another year. This program is funded 100% by <br />Healthy Start, so no County match is needed. <br />Working with existing Recreation Department classes, Parent Education Opportunities will <br />be offered to parents of children who are attending Recreation Department classes. The <br />Parent Education Opportunities will be offered in a nearby, convenient location to begin <br />immediately after the child's class beginning time and to end immediately prior to the <br />child's class ending time. In conjunction with faith community leaders, child care directors, <br />school administrators, and other organizations, the Recreation Department will identify time <br />and place for regularly scheduled Parent Education Opportunities throughout the county. <br />All groups are to be open to the public. Additional responsibilities include organization and <br />oversight of training of leaders. These services can also be provided in the neighborhood, <br />school, workplace, orwhereverthe concerns, priorities, and resources of the parent or care <br />giver can best be met. <br />Healthy Start will reimburse the County for salaries, benefits, and operating expenses <br />incurred in the provision of these services. During the grant period, an amount up to <br />$53,137 will be provided per fiscal year. <br />September 5, 2000 <br />18 <br />BKIl4PG752 <br />• • <br />
