Yes X No Regular Head Start Expansion Application STATEMENT OF NEED: Weld County covers an area of 4,004 square miles in north central Colorado. The County Seat and principal city, Greeley, is located in the west central part of the County and contains almost half of the county's population of approximately 123,439. The population is up 38% from the 1970 census. The 1980 census data identified 1,913 children four (4) years of age and 2,028 three (3) years age. The Weld County Commodity Supplemental Foods Program for low-income families served an average of 1,046 children in the time period of January-June, 1984, that were between the ages of three (3;1 and five (5). The Weld County Head Start Program is presently funded to provide services for 210 children. The current program has the Main Center in Greeley conducting four (4) double session classes. The Greeley Center also prepares the food for both the Greeley and Evans centers. The enrollment of children is at its maximum and there is always a waiting list for the Greeley area. There are four (4) rural centers in Weld County: Evans, Pierce, Johnstown, and Frederick. The Johnstown Center is located in an elementary school and food is purchased from the school . The Pierce and Frederick centers are housed in churches, and the Evans Center is located about six (6) miles from Greeley. At the present, three (3) rural centers operate double sessions with a team of one (1) teacher and one (1) teacher aide working morning and afternoon sessions. One (1) rural center operates only one (1) session, and the Greeley Center operates four (4) double sessions with a team of two (2) teachers and one (1) teacher aide, with one (1) teacher working one (1) session each, and the one (1) teacher aide working both sessions. The Head Start Program recently completed an indepth assessment which was conducted by the Regional Office. The cost analysis section of the evaluation showed the following: 1. The overall cost per child per hour was higher than the average cost in the region by approximately 15%. This is directly related to the number of children served by Head Start and the limitation of space which currently prohibits more children from participating in the program. 2. The amount of actual teaching hours by the Greeley staff in comparison to the rural centers is not as efficient as it could be, i .e. , the teaching staff in Greeley work three and one-half (3f) hours in the classroom and utilize four (4) hours for daily planning. METHODOLOGY: By utilizing Expansion Monies (one (1) time only) , the Weld County Head Start Program is proposing to increase enrollment from 210 to 250 children. The Weld County Hold Start Program will be receivf:^n two (2) used Star Steel buildings e . . roximately 30' by 80' from a gL .ral contractor in Greeley. These buildings were previously used as classrooms by Aims Community College. The buildings will be placed at the Greeley Head Start Center on some of the land that is currently occupied by the playground (part of the playground will be relocated to a different section an the Head Start land). The buildings will provide for two (2) additional classrooms as well as use the space for Parent Involvement activities and training. With the addition of the two (2) classrooms at the Greeley site, the following considerations apply: 1. With the addition of the two (2) classrooms which will operate double session, enrollment can be increased. 2. No additional staff will be needed in order to expand the Greeley Center. Teachers will be transitioned into having responsibility for two (2) classes, morning and afternoon sessions, this also has been recommended by the Regional Office. 3. The Evans Center which had one (1) double session classroom will be transferred into the new classroom at the Greeley Center. After the initial set up cost for the buildings, the Head Start Program will have lower costs due to the elimination of rent, telephone, utilities, and transportation of food to the Evans Center. 4. Greeley has the highest amount of low-income population in the county; therefore, more low-income children can be enrolled. fr 5. Enrollment will be increased by a minimum of forty (40) children. Quality of services will be maintained in all the areas. HEALTH: During the past year, the Head Start Program has worked with the private health providers in the community in order to secure physicals for the children. At the present, the program pays a minimum of $30.00 per physical per child. An agreement with the Sunrise Community Health Center in Greeley is being written at this time. The Sunrise Community Health Center will provide physical examinations for the children (including hematocrit and urine analysis) at $15.00 per child. This is half the price the program has been paying until now. DENTAL: After the on-site review performed by Regional Office, it was recom- mended to the program to have the children examined while sitting in a completely equipped dental office. In the past, a local dentist would come to the center and screen the children with a flashlight and make referrals at no cost to the Head Start Program. All the services provided after the referral were covered with a standard payment of $75.00 per child. Starting in September, 1984, all the dental examinations will be conducted at the Sunrise Community Health Center at a cost of $5.00 per child. All follow-up treatmr `s for children who require add'" tonal dental ser- vices, will be pa .0 at the rate of $2.00 per visit, regardless of the amount of work performed on the children's teeth. EDUCATION: A full-time CDA Training position is being created. This position will work closely with the Educational Coordinator and will also provide support to Family Services/Parent Involvement Component in planning training for parents. SPECIAL NEEDS: The position of Special Needs Coordinator is being restructured in order to become an integral part of the Health Component. This is being done because many of the two (2) areas' functions are closely related. BUDGET DESCRIPTION: The cost of installing and setting up the two (2) buildings has been set at $55,000. Attachment I is the bid submitted to Aims Community College, and Attachment II is a Pre Contract Letter of Intent for the moving and set up of the buildings at the Head Start site. The $25,000 requested from Head Start Expansion Monies will help offset the costs associated with the buildings. The remaining $30,000 will be obtained from the county and other Human Resources funding sources. Attachment I • May 22. 1984 Richard C.
