DRUG-FREE WORKPLACE REQUIREMENTS GRANTEES OTHER THAN INDIVIDUALS By signing and/or submitting this application or grant agreement, the grantee is providing the certification set out below. This certification is required by regulations implementing the Drug-Free Workplace Act of 1988, 45 CFR, Part 76, Subpart F. The regulations published in the January 31, 1989 Federal Register, require certification by grantees that they will maintain a drug-free workplace. The certification set out below is a material representation of fact upon which reliance will be placed when HHS determines to award the grant. False certification or violation of the certification shall be grounds for suspension of payments, suspension or termination of grants, or government-wide suspension or debarment. Workplaces under grants, for grantees other than individuals, need not be identified on the certification. If known, they may be identified in the grant application. If the grantee does not identify the workplaces at the time of application, or upon award, if there is no application, the grantee must keep the identity of the workplace(s)on file in its office and make the information available for Federal inspection. Failure to identify all known workplaces constitutes a violation of the grantee's drug-free workplace requirements. Workplace identifications must include the actual address of buildings (or parts of building) or other sites where work under the grant takes place. Categorical descriptions may be used(e.g. all vehicles of a mass transit authority of State highway department while in operation, State employees in each local unemployment office, performers in concert halls or radio studios). If the workplace identified to HHS changes during the performance of the grant, the grantee shall inform the agency of the change(s), it previously identified the workplaces in question (see above). Definitions of terms in the Nonprocurement Suspension and Debarment common rule and Drug-Free Workplace common rule apply to this certification.

"Conviction" means a finding of guilt(including a plea of nolo contendere)or imposition of sentence, or both,by any judicial body charged with the responsibility to determine violations of the Federal of State criminal drug statutes; "Criminal drug statute"means a Federal or non-Federal criminal statute involving the manufacture,distribution, dispensing use, or possession of any controlled substance; "Employee"means the employee of a grantee directly engaged in the performance of work under a grant including: (i)All"direct charge"employees; (ii) all "indirect charge"employees unless their impact of involvement is insignificant to the performance of the grant; and(iii)temporary personnel and consultants who are directly engaged in the performance of work under the grant and who are on the grantee's payroll. This definition does not include workers not on the payroll of the grantee (e.g., volunteers, even if used to meet a matching requirement; consultants or independent contractors not on the grantee's payroll; or employees of subrecipients or subcontractors in covered workplaces). The grantee certifies that it will provide a drug-free workplace by: a) Publishing a statement notifying employees that the unlawful manufacture, distribution, dispensing, possession or use of a controlled substance is prohibited in the grantee's workplace and specifying the actions that will be taken against employees for violation of such prohibition; b) Establishing a drug-free awareness program to inform employees about: (1) The dangers of drug abuse in the workplace; (2) The grantee's policy of maintaining a drug-free workplace; (3) Any available drug counseling, rehabilitation, employee assistance programs; and (4) The penalties that may be imposed upon employees for drug abuse violations occurring in the workplace; c) Making it a requirement that each employee to be engaged in the performance of the grant be given a copy of be statement required by paragraph (a); d) Notifying the employee in the statement required by paragraph (a) that as a condition of employment under the grant, the employee wilt (1) Abide by the terms of the statement; and (2) Notify the employer of any criminal drug statute conviction fora violation occurring in the workplace no later than five days after such conviction; e) Notifying the agency in writing within ten days after receiving notice under subparagraph (d)(2), from an employee or otherwise receiving actual notice of such conviction.

The program provides support to migrant and seasonal farm worker families in Northern Colorado, supported by the Migrant Head Start framework. FENWC works with a variety of agencies to identify the needs of migrant and seasonal farm worker families and determines eligibility for Migrant and Seasonal Farm Worker Head Start Children. Services are broad in scope and are individualized so that they are responsive to the individual needs of each family. Risk factors for children identified by the 2004 Colorado Children's Campaign Kids Count report 30% of mothers without a high school diploma, 15% of families living in 'poverty, 7% living in extreme poverty, 21% speaking only Spanish. Colorado ranks 39 h in the nation for low birth rate and 48th for high school drop-outs. Studies show that school readiness is impacted by income, parent's educational level and early learning opportunities. This grant intends to strengthen the program's ability to serve the underserved migrant population in order to turn the tide of these distressing statistics. The goal of this project is to ensure that all eligible migrant and seasonal Head Start children in the service area have access to and can acquire the skills and knowledge necessary to allow them to enter school ready for success. The Program's 2005 and 2006 Community Assessment's demonstrate growth in the service area's migrant and seasonal population, attributing 60% of Colorado's future population growth to come from immigrants and state-to-state transplants. This is the result, in large part, from the end of a significant period of drought, increasing availability of affordable housing, the reopening of agricultural warehouses on the front range and increasing need for laborers for longer periods of time for planting, harvesting and maintaining fruit and table crops on the western slope. The Family Educational Network proposes to serve an additional 5 migrant children in its service area. The revised targeted enrollment will be 282 children. The program will continue to open as usual in March and remain open through October. In order to serve the additional 5 children, the Program is proposing to license additional space in Grand Junction and in Greeley. Adding 5 children and their families to the program will require additional staffing. FENWC is requesting funds to add the following staff— .75 teacher, 1 teacher assistant. In addition, the program is requesting one-time start up funds to equip classrooms for additional children and families, as well as provide transportation for them. I. INTRODUCTION The Family Educational Network of Weld County (FENWC) has been unable to provide services to all Head Start-eligible children within the designated service area. In 2004, children were consistently on the program's waiting list and 6 were still on the list as the program closed. In addition the program was forced to terminate its services while eligible children were still coming into the area. At the time the Program closed and the Regional Head Start program and the public schools opened in September, most preschool and kindergarten children were able to be accommodated. Unfortunately, however, over 40 children between the ages of 0 and 3, whose parents were still working in agriculture, were left without available placement options. As of this writing, July 25, 2006, the Program is reaching full capacity and is still waiting for carrot and onion docks to open as well as for peach, apple and melon harvest to begin. II. OBJECTIVES, NEED FOR ASSISTANCE AND GEOGRAPHIC AREA Information gathered from numerous sources, the Community Assessment, parent and community/grower surveys, and the PIR, has identified two salient problems in the provision of quality services to migrant and seasonal Head Start eligible children. These issues are 1) larger numbers of children in the area than the program is funded to serve, and 2) shortness of service time frame. According to a survey conducted by the Work Force Centers in Colorado counties in 2004, the growth in employment opportunities exceeded the growth in the labor force by a .25% rate, 53% of job openings were either very difficult or somewhat difficult to fill and the agriculture job vacancy rate of 4.2% accounts for 27% of the estimated vacancies in the region. The total farm worker population in the labor force in the state of Colorado is estimated at 10,500. The Colorado Department of Education, Migrant Education Program identified 459 farm worker children. In 2004, the Colorado Department of Health, Farm Worker Health Program provided services to 394 farm worker children, ages 0-13 years (138 Migrant Head enrolled). The itinerant workers begin arriving late April and leave early October. The majority of the migrants arriving in April are males with their families joining them in June. Agricultural workers are needed from March through November for table crops; onions, cabbage, lettuce, beets, asparagus, spinach, carrots and potatoes and from February through December for fruit crops, including: grapes, pears, apples, peaches, and cherries, as well as oats, alfalfa, hay, and other cash crops. Work on crops begins in February with the impact season starting in June and running through September and tapering off through November. Table and wine grape production has increased of 77% since 1994 and acreage has doubled. It is estimated that there are approximately 1300 farm workers in Olathe area alone; 95 migrant families with 150 children. The Colorado Department of Education, Migrant Education 2 Program identified 108 eligible migrant children. The Colorado Department of Health, Migrant Health Program served 108 eligible migrant children. Perceived childcare needs for children age 5 and under include a need for more flexible programs and an increase in infant care for children 2 and under. According to recent statistics from the Child Care Resource and Referral Agency, there are 129 infant slots and 311 toddler slots available at child care centers with an average of a 7%-10% vacancy rate. Local family day care homes have the capacity to provide care for 550 children under the age of two, however, out of those 550 slots approximately 206 of them are available for infants. The average vacancy rate for open infant slots is small at 2%-5%, and those are generally filled within weeks of the vacancy. In order to meet the identified needs of the area's migrant and seasonal population and intervene in preparing the children (and families) for success in school, additional classroom space to serve additional children and additional time to work with those children are needed. Project Objectives: 1) to serve eligible children on the program's waiting list, 2) to provide Head Start services to all eligible children, 3) to provide eligible children and families with the tools for school readiness, including English language opportunities, a strong literacy and numeracy- based curriculum (Creative Curriculum) and family strategies for educational support. Objective Evidence of Completion Target Date To serve all children on the Enrollment and service November 1 program's waiting list Documentation will demonstrate that all children whose names appear on the Program's waiting list. Have been enrolled and served. To provide Head Start services Enrollment and service November 1 to all eligible children documentation will demonstrate that all enrolled children are eligible for Head Start services. To provide eligibile children and Children's files, teachers working November 1 families with the tools for school notebooks and lesson plans will readiness, including English demonstrate the implementation of language opportunities, a strong Creative Curriculum. Children's files, literacy and numeracy-based parent meeting minutes and Policy curriculum(Creative Curriculum Council Meeting minutes will and family strategies for demonstrate the implementation of educational support strategies for educational support. 3 Ill. Plan of Action/Approach The Family Educational Network of Weld County (FENWC) will provide a Center-based, comprehensive early childhood education program that focuses on early childhood development and school-readiness for children birth through 5 years of age, and, employing the whole family concept, individualizing so that education, health, mental health, disabilities and family/parent involvement services are responsive to the needs of each family. In order to achieve this goal, FENWC will continue to collaborate within the northern Colorado community to offer optimal support and services to children and families. The Program coordinates with local school districts through memos of understanding to help prepare children with appropriate cognitive, physical, language, social, emotional and problem-solving skills. In addition, FENWC will continue to collaborate with a myriad of other agencies, including a private care provider, Child Quest, the Montrose County Housing Authority, Sunrise, Salud, and Montrose County Health clinics, Catholic Charities Northern, Employment Services, the Division of Social Services, the Colorado Migrant Coalition, Child and Migrant Services, St. Mary's Hospital, Promises for Children and numerous private health and mental health care providers. The Literacy-based early childhood educational programming provided in FENWC's bilingual classrooms is developmentally appropriate according to Head Start performance standards. In addition, the program will continue to provide ongoing GED and ESL opportunities for families, monthly parent literacy and father involvement activities and vocational awareness education to help parents establish self-sufficiency. Remaining open to serve families throughout the agricultural season will enable the program to meet the full day—full year needs of its migrant population. Education Services Teaching staff will write and use Individual Development Plans (IDP's) for each child to stimulate social, emotional, motor and intellectual learning experiences; self-reliance, self-esteem and self-confidence, thus establishing the underpinnings of future educational success. The Program will administer the National Reporting System for all 4-year old children, and in conjunction with its Creative Curriculum will gather child-outcomes three times annually to assist in planning for children's needs, to inform parents, and to support program improvement initiatives. For infants and toddlers, the Program will use the Ounce Scale in addition to Creative Curriculum. Staffing for the new classrooms will meet the state as well as the Head Start Performance Standards for adequate number of trained staff in the classroom. FENWC's infant and toddler classrooms are staffed by three staff and are capped at 8 children. The preschool classrooms are staffed by two staff and are capped at 15 children. Teacher Aide/Lunch Aides are part-time workers, often hired from the parent ranks, who work in the middle of the day to allow teachers and teacher assistants 4 to take lunch breaks. This entry level position is significant because if affords individuals (especially interested parents) the opportunity to accumulate classroom hours if they are interested in pursuing a career in early childhood education. Because there is such a high need in the service are for space for infants and toddlers, FENWC is requesting additional staff to support additional classrooms. Organizationally, the addition of a .25 Education Coordinator to supervise the additional classroom staff will provide adequate support and ensure that the delivery of high quality services will be regularly monitored. Again from an organizational perspective, the addition of a .25 Center Director has been made to ensure that classroom facilities meet Federal and licensing standards, that the day to day operations run smoothly, and that case management (home visits and Family Partnership Agreements) is completed on time and that follow up is carried out to meet the families' needs. The addition of the services of a part time support tech will allow the program to manage expanded program resources more effectively. Currently an employee of the Weld County Transportation Department manages that position part-time. Health/Mental Health/Disabilities Services The Health and Mental Health/Disabilities Components will work in collaboration with various agencies and private providers to furnish a broad range of medical, dental and mental health activities. Children identified with special needs will be assessed and appropriate services provided for them. The program will provide health and nutrition education to the parents as well to promote sound physical and mental child development. Transportation Transportation services will be provided at no cost to families through the Weld County Mini-Bus and through Grand Valley Transit/Mesability. The Family Literacy Van, a vehicle purchased for the program with Weld County funds will also provide door-to-door literacy and numeracy educational support services to families as well as literacy bags with books and activities for families to check out and use. At parent meetings, training and follow up on the use of the bags and strategies will be available to all families. Family Services/Parent Involvement Family and Community Partnerships will continue to work directly with a variety of social service agencies to obtain needed assistance for families and to provide social services, educational and employment training to parents. This support enables families to improve the quality and condition of their lives. At a minimum, monthly father/male involvement activities are an integral component of the FCP system. The addition of a part-time Family Service Worker supports the program's efforts to locate all eligible children in the service area and in assisting the additional families in connecting with other agencies. 5 Staff Professional Development As well as offering support to the families, FENWC has developed a system that provides services to staff in the areas of training, personal development and needed direct services. Staff support services include professional development opportunities, mental health services, opportunities to enroll in college level courses and enhanced technical support from component specialists. All new staff members are provided with a one-week orientation program, followed by a one-week mentoring/shadowing experience before being placed in their permanent assignment. In support of the federal mandate, and in order to provide the highest quality professional services to children and families, the staff development program, managed and monitored by the Program's Career Development Committee, will continue to encourage and promote staff pursuit of advanced educational opportunities. Results and Benefits Expected FENWC expects to reach and impact 16 additional Migrant and Seasonal Head Start children and their families. The expected results include: 1) children will receive research-based educational experiences; 2) results on Child Outcomes and NRS assessments will demonstrate significant growth in children's literacy and numeracy skills, and therefore children's potential for school success; 3) parents will increase their knowledge in all areas of early childhood development and early literacy and increase their parenting skills or the quality of child care and educational support they provide, thus increasing their children's ability to succeed in school and later in life; 4) parents will increase their knowledge of and involvement with ESL, GED and employment training, enabling them to improve the quality and condition of their lives; and 5) all eligible children and families will receive services throughout the entire agricultural season. IV. FENWC ORGANIZATIONAL PROFILE MISSION: to provide children and families with a high quality, comprehensive program which promotes self-esteem, respects diversity, fosters social and educational competence, develops independence, and enables children and families to be lifetime learners and responsible, valued members of their community. Program Services The Family Educational Network of Weld County (FENWC) provides a Center-based, comprehensive early childhood education program that focuses on early childhood development and school-readiness for preschool age children. Head Start employs a whole family concept, individualizing so that education, health, mental health, disabilities and family/parent involvement services are responsive to the needs of each family. In order to achieve this goal, FENWC participates in a strong network that has been developed within the community of Weld County to offer optimal support and 6 services to children and families. The program coordinates with local school districts to help prepare children for kindergarten entrance with appropriate cognitive, physical, language, social, emotional and problem-solving skills. Literacy-based early childhood educational programming provided in bilingual classrooms is developmentally appropriate according to Head Start performance standards. In addition, the program provides GED and ESL opportunities, parent literacy and father involvement initiatives and vocational awareness education to help parents establish self-sufficiency. FENWC Migrant and Seasonal Head Start centers are located in agricultural communities throughout northern Colorado. There are 6 sites in the Greeley/Evans area providing services to children and families living in Greeley, Evans, Nunn, Ault, Pierce, Eaton, Windsor, Severance, Gill, Fort Collins and Kersey. The Frederick and Hudson centers serve the towns and rural areas of Hudson, Keenesburg, Prospect Valley, Firestone, Frederick, Dacono, Erie, Mead Brighton and parts of Platteville and Roggen. In addition, the program operates one center (five classrooms) in Grand Junction and one center (4 classrooms) in Olathe on the western slope. FENWC has operated the Head Start Program since 1974. The grantee is Weld County and the Board of Weld County Commissioners is the program's Governing Body. The program's Policy Council meets monthly and includes parent representatives from each center as well as community representatives. FENWC considers parents an integral part of the program team. Parent participation is encouraged in the decision-making process, not only regarding children's education, but also in the overall operation of the program. The Program supports parents in their role and joins them in the process of developing goals for their children. V. BUDGET AND BUDGET JUSTIFICATION FENWC is requesting grant monies to cover the addition of 5 children and their families to its program. The cost of staff salaries and fringe, classroom materials, support equipment for families, children and staff and transportation are start up costs. The Policy Council and Governing Body have reviewed the budget request and determined that costs are consistent with the Program's current activities, and are reasonable in view of the activities and start-up costs to be carried out. Monthly program monitoring already in the FENWC budget will evaluate the success of the effort. FENWC secures the required non-federal share through a variety of strategies as listed on the following pages. 7 Budget Item Individual Cost Extended Total Teacher Salary $24,450.00 .75 $ 18,338.00 Fringe $ 7,756.00 $ 5,817.00 Teacher Assistant Salary $18,291.00 1 $ 18,291.00 Fringe $ 6,785.00 $ 6,785.00 Computer Support: 1 CPU Unit $850.00 $ 850.00 Monitor $260.00 $ 260.00 Printer $175.00 $ 175.00 Microsoft License $ 63.50 $ 63.50 Early Childhood $1,645.00 2 $ 3,290.00 Computer Learning Center Classroom Supplies $13/mo x 5 = $65 8 months $ 520.00 Transportation $1,248.40 5 $ 6,242.00 Total Personnel ' '' $6 629.00' Total Fringe , ' !; ;,,Pod,' ',I: ' $4002.00 ' Total Supplies " ,; $ 5,159.00 Total Contractual $ 6,242.00 li I ( ()gI (IIIth II Grand Total $ 60,632.00 VI.
