SUBJECT: Memorandum of Understanding between the Weld County
Department of Human Services' and School District Six
Enclosed for Board approval is a Memorandum of Understanding between the Department and
School District Six. This Memorandum of Understanding was reviewed under a Pass-Around
Memorandum dated September 8, 2011, and approved for placement on the Board's Agenda.
School District 6 has a retrieval program at Jefferson High School for school age youth with
children that seeks to have such youth re-enter and graduate from high school. Weld County
initially supported the Jefferson High School Consolidated Alternative Program by providing a
child care slot contract for 20 licensed slots to its licensed child care provider for the period of
January 13, 2011 through May 19, 2011. The District has requested Weld County to continue to
assist them in funding a child care slot contract for 20 licensed slots to benefit school aged youth
with children to School District 6's child care provider and to allow School district 6 additional
time to identify other funding sources for their child care or related program needs.
Weld County has limited ability and is willing to provide the requested child care slot contract to
its licensed child care provider for a single period of 9 weeks beginning August 16, 2011 through
October 19, 2011, on a one-time-only basis, in support of the Jefferson High School
Consolidated Alternative Program.
This Memorandum of Understanding constitutes a non-financial agreement between School
District 6 and Weld County. Weld County will contract separately with the licensed child care
providers of the Jefferson High School Consolidated Alternative Program.
If you have any questions, give me a call at extension 6510.
