WELD COUNTY DIVISION OF HUMAN SERVICES
COST ALLOCATION PLAN
PURPOSE
The purpose of this cost allocation plan is to outline, in writing, the
methods and procedures that Weld County Division of Human Services will use to
allocate costs to its various programs, contracts and grants.
BACKGROUND
Weld County Division of Human Services (DES) operates as an umbrella agency
of Weld County Government. DHS is the administrative entity for various federal
and state programs, grants and contracts. These programs are grouped into four
areas; Employment Services, Family Educational Network, Area Agency on Aging,
and Other Human Service. Employment Services includes the following grants and
contracts; Workforce Investment Act Grant programs, Wagner/Peyser programs,
Summer Job Hunt, Employment First Food Stamp/Job Search Program, Workfare, TANF,
Welfare to Work, Americorps, National Emergency Grants, & the Educational
Computer Lab. Family Educational Network consists of the following revenue
sources and programs; Head Start, Migrant Head Start, Child Care Food Program,
and State Preschool. Area Agency on Aging incorporates Older American Act funds
into several Senior programs. It also relies on USDA funds for Senior nutrition
programs, Community Service Block Grant Funds for coordinating the Senior
volunteer program, Federal Transit Funds for Senior Minibus transportation, and
Single Entry Point Funds and Private Contracts for Senior Case management. Other
Human Service programs and funding include; Community Service Block grant, and
the Commodity Supplemental Food Program. Annual Budgets for all DHS grants and
funds are stated in the Weld County Calendar Year Budget Book.
These grants require that DHS complies with OMB Circular A-102, Uniform
Administrative Requirements for State and Local Governments and OMB Circular A-
87, Cost Principles for State and Local Governments. This Cost Allocation Plan
is based on the definitions and requirements spelled out in OMB Circular A-87 .
GENERAL APPROACH
The general approach of DHS in allocating costs to particular programs,
grants and contract is as follows;
A) All costs identifiable with a specific program, grants or contracts
are charged directly to the benefitting program.
B) Unassigned direct costs are assigned to cost pools and are allocated
monthly based on monthly time sheet distribution percentages of the
personnel assigned to each particular cost pool. For example, the
percentages taken against the Employment Services cost pool only
come from Employment Services staff and are allocated only to the
programs served by the Employment services staff. Allocated costs
do not cross pools.
ALLOCATION METHODOLOGY
DHS uses six cost pools;
1) Transportation Cost Pool---This pool is used to accumulate all the
joint costs associated with running DHS's Transportation Department
which provides minibus transportation for several of our programs.
This pool includes transportation staff salaries, fringe benefits,
and all transportation operational costs.
2) Employment Services Cost Pool---This pool is used to accumulate all
the joint costs associated with the operations of Employment
Services including; Employment Services staff salaries, fringe
benefits, and other costs which cannot be directly identified to a
program.
3) Area Agency on Aging Cost Pool---This pool is used to accumulate all
salary and fringe costs and joint costs associated with Area Agency
on Aging employees and programs.
4) Administrative Cost Pool---This pool includes all administrative
salaries, fringe, overhead and other joint costs associated with
administering all DHS programs that cannot be directly identified to
a grant or contract. For example; ground maintenance, utilities,
janitorial - those types of general overhead costs that serve the
entire agency.
5) FENWC Cost Pool---This pool is used to accumulate all the joint
costs associated with the operations of Family Educational Network
of Weld County including; FENWC staff salaries and fringe, as well
as other costs which cannot be directly identified to a specific
program.
6) Client Payroll pool - This pool is used to accumulate all the client
payroll expense - salary and fringe - from all programs.
TRANSPORTATION COST POOL
The Transportation Department system tracks client miles and trips
associated with each program served. These figures are accumulated into
a monthly report. Monthly, percentages of miles per program are
calculated for the period. The percentages are taken against the total
transportation department costs for the month. The amounts are allocated
from the pool to the program (fund) receiving benefit.
EMPLOYMENT SERVICES COST POOL
Monthly time sheets are kept by all Employment Services employees noting
their time per month per program served. Monthly, the time worked per
program is entered into a spreadsheet which calculates total time
(weighted by rates of pay) percentages per program. The time/rate
percentages are taken against this pool of costs and are allocated to
grants served accordingly.
AREA AGENCY ON AGING SERVICES COST POOL
Monthly time sheets are kept by all Area Agency on Aging employees noting
their time per month per program served. Monthly, the time worked per
program is entered into a spreadsheet which calculates total time
percentages per programs weighted by rates of pay. The time/rate
percentages are taken against this pool of costs and are allocated to
grants served accordingly.
ADMINISTRATIVE COST POOL
Monthly time sheets are kept by all Administrative staff noting their time
per month per program served. Monthly, the time worked per program is
entered into a spreadsheet which calculates total time percentages per
program weighted by rates of pay. The time/rate percentages are taken
against this pool of costs and are allocated to grants served accordingly.
FENWC COST POOL
Monthly time sheets are kept by all FENWC staff noting their time per
program served. The classroom staff allocates by percentage of children
per program. Monthly, the percentages are calculated and taken against
this pool of costs and allocated to grants and programs served
accordingly.
CLIENT PAYROLL POOL
Monthly payroll log is sent from County payroll. The DES Fiscal Tech
identifies by Time sheets what program each client is associated with on
the payroll log. A manual journal entry is done monthly to move the
salary and fringe from the pool to the fund/grant that the client is
directly associated with.
GENERAL LEDGER ACCOUNTING
Weld County uses a uniform classification of accounts for all general
ledger departments. Each grant or program is its own general ledger
department (fund) . All direct costs are charged directly to the
particular department it served. All allocated costs are entered into the
ledger by journal entry--from the pools to the grant departments. Each
allocated line item is coded so it can be identified as to cost pool
source. Each expense, whether direct or allocated, is also coded with a
program code to charge it against the cost category defined by the grant.
REPORTING
Most grant programs are on monthly reporting. Each general ledger
department is printed for the time period to report. The department
carries the calendar year-to-date totals for each cost category of
expenses. From the total for the grant cost category is subtracted what
has been reported in prior periods of the same calendar year. The balance
for the cost category is transferred to the report for the current period.
The ledger report, is the documentation of costs and backup to reported
expenditures.

PROGRAM NARRATIVE
PART IV
PROGRAM NARRATIVE
PA 23
The Family Educational Network of Weld County provides a comprehensive early
childhood education program that focuses on early childhood development. 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 individualized so that they are
responsible to the needs of each family. The following services are available to
eligible migrant children and families through FENWC.
• Education Services Teaching staff writes and uses Individual
Development Plans (IDP'S) for each child. This working document
stimulates social, emotional, motor and intellectual learning experiences;
self-reliance, self-esteem and self-confidence are encouraged, thus, they
establish the underpinnings of future educational success. For children
with identified disabilities, the program also utilizes the IEP to provide
individualized optimal services.
• Health Services The Program's Health Component works in
collaboration with the Colorado Department of Health, local health clinics
and private providers to furnish a broad range of medical, dental and
mental health activities. Children identified with disabilities are provided
with services through Migrant Health and local migrant clinics. In addition
the Program provides health and nutrition education to the parents to
promote sound physical and mental child development.
• Family Services/Parent Involvement Family Services works directly
with a variety 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.
FENWC considers parents an integral part of the staff team. Parent
participation is encouraged in the decision-making process, not only
regarding their 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.
MISSION STATEMENT
FENWC's mission is to provide children and families with a high quality,
comprehensive program which promotes self-esteem, fosters social and
educational competence, develops independence, and enables children and
families to be lifetime learners and responsible, valued members of their
community.
VISION STATEMENT
Our Vision is that FENWC will continue to be a high quality program where the
staff is respected, educated and supported as strong leaders in the field of
education. To that end we endeavor to foster unity within the community and
nurture collaborative efforts within the school districts. Our Program strives to
work closely with governing bodies to support families, children and staff to meet
their diverse needs.
The Family Educational Network of Weld County is committed to providing
migrant and seasonal farm worker families with a developmentally appropriate,
comprehensive program that promotes self-esteem, fosters social-competence,
develops independence, and enables children and families to experience future
successes.
Funding for FENWC comes primarily from Federal Grants, administered by the
Department of Health and Human Services/Administration for Children, Youth
and Families/Administration of Children and Families/Head Start Bureau/Regions
XII and VIII. Other funding sources come from the State of Colorado, passed
through local school districts and CCAP funding from the Department of Human
Services.
Children qualify through the following funding sources: The Migrant Head Start
and Head Start Programs, Colorado Preschool Program, and School District
Disabilities Funds. During the Migrant/Seasonal Program, the Migrant Head
Start children have their own classrooms so that their unique needs can be met.
FENWC currently has ten sites throughout Northern Colorado, including the
Western Slope.
I. OBJECTIVES, NEED FOR ASSISTANCE AND GEOGRAPHIC AREA
The Weld County Division of Human Services' Family Educational Network of
Weld County (FENWC), 1551 North 17th Avenue/P.O. Box 1805, Greeley,
Colorado, 80632, provides a comprehensive early childhood education program
which focuses on early childhood development and provides support to eligible
migrant and seasonal families throughout northern Colorado through the Head
Start framework. FENWC currently serves 266 Migrant and Seasonal Head Start
eligible children (birth through 5) and has requested expansion dollars to serve
an additional 16 children and their families.
The primary objective of FENWC is to provide the following services in
order to foster families' increased social competence, prepare children for
school success, and prepare children and families to be healthy,
productive members of their community: Parent Involvement; Health
Services; Nutritional Services; Social Services; and Educational Services.
2
FENWC encourages active parent involvement through the following
opportunities: Policy Council; Parent Committee; in the classroom as paid
volunteers or observers; volunteers in the service areas; working with the
children at home; and, taking the lead as the primary educator/caretaker of the
child. When eligible families are enrolled, they receive an informational packet
with details about the program and specific component areas and
responsibilities. The packet includes educational, nutritional, mental health and
disabilities educational materials. Parents receive educational information via the
Parent Involvement Van, Home Visits, Parent Committee Meetings and through
information sent home with their children. Parents can check out books and
videos from the Parent Involvement Van and through the mobile lending libraries
that visit the centers. Area agencies also coordinate visits to migrant families
with Head Start case managers or participate at Parent Committee Meetings.
A major emphasis continues to be parent education, again with the objective of
increasing the social competence of families by building parenting skills and
teaching skills for becoming vocal advocates for their children's education. For
children to develop high self-esteem and be successful in school it is important
that our program work with the parents so that they understand the important role
they have as their children's primary educators. A further objective is to assist
parents in their efforts to gain the confidence to work with their children at home,
feel comfortable in a school setting to support their children, feel empowered to
further their own educational and skill levels, find employment, and be able to
access needed support services.
Need for Assistance — Community Assessment
Geographic Area (map attached)
The Family Educational Network of Weld County provides Head Start services to
eligible migrant and seasonal families in northern Colorado at 10 sites in the
following areas:
Greeley - There are 6 sites in Greeley, Colorado, providing services to
children living in Greeley and the rural northeast and northwest.
Frederick—A 4-classroom facility at Frederick, Colorado, serves the towns
and rural areas of Firestone, Frederick, Dacono, Erie, Mead, Platteville
and the rural southeast and southwest.
Hudson — One classroom at Hudson, Colorado, provides services to
children in the towns and rural areas around Hudson, Keenesburg,
Prospect Valley and Roggen.
Grand Junction — A 6-classroom facility at Grand Junction, Colorado,
provides services to children in Grand Junction, Mesa County and the
surrounding rural area.
3
Olathe — A 4-classroom facility provides services to children in Delta and
Montrose counties including towns and rural areas.
Wage Comparability Study— The program conducted a wage comparability
study in the spring of 2005. Salary for several positions was below comparability
for that position at that time when compared with the other MSHS program in
Colorado. This included Education, Disabilities, Health and Family and
Community Partnerships Specialists, as well as Education Coordinators, Center
Directors and Teachers. This disparity also existed when these positions were
compared to comparable positions in local school districts, although school
district credential requirements were higher than those for Head Start personnel.
This disparity did not exist when salaries were compared to local salaries for
private early childhood facilities and child care homes. FENWC Teachers must
have a minimum of an A.A. and Teacher Assistants must have a minimum of a
high school diploma with 1000 verifiable hours working with children under the
age of 6 in a preschool setting, as would be a minimum requirement at another
Head Start facility. However, minimum credentialing standards for teachers and
teacher assistants in the private sector are lower than those in Head Start.
II. PROGRAM APPROACH AND RESULTS OR EXPECTED BENEFITS
The Family Educational Network of Weld County proposes to continue a
comprehensive Migrant and Seasonal Farm Worker Head Start Program in Weld,
Adams, Jefferson, Larimer, Morgan, Mesa, Delta and Montrose counties,
providing services to low-income migrant and seasonal farm worker children.
The program's targeted enrollment is 266, with no fewer than 26 children with
disabilities to be enrolled and no more than 26 children in the 10% over-income
category to be enrolled. Priority will be given to the migrant farm worker children,
and 118 slots will be held for migrant children.
All centers will operate 9 hours per day, five days a week. Children will receive
services in front-range centers from 6:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m. On the western
slope, the hours will be from 7:30 until 4:30. Grand Junction classrooms will
open in February and close at the end of September; Olathe classrooms will
open in April and close at the end of November to endeavor to meet the needs of
the population, especially in the orchards. On the front-range, the program will
run 14 weeks, from June through September, to accommodate the needs of
families in the area's shorter growing season. The program's inability to
financially replace the loss of USDA meal reimbursements for a fourth meal, the
inability of the Colorado Migrant Health Program to provide health services to
children without charge, and the skyrocketing cost of transportation services
have severely affected the program's budget and ability to provide more
extensive services to families.
4
All preschool classrooms will be staffed at a 1:8 ratio, with 2 teachers and a
maximum of 15 children in each classroom. Infant and toddler classrooms will be
staffed at a 1:3 ratio, with 3 teachers and a maximum of 8 children in each
classroom. While these ratios significantly impact the program's budget, they
meet Performance Standards as well as primary caregiver model.
The proposed Program Options for the grant period is Center Based:
Monday through Friday (9 hours per day), serving infants, toddlers and preschool
age children and their families, 8-month program on Colorado's western slope
and 14-week program on Colorado's front range. Special Needs Services in
collaboration with school districts and area providers, serving infants, toddlers
and preschool age children and their families, 8-month program on Colorado's
western slope and 14-week program on Colorado's front range.
The information on the following page includes the anticipated number of eligible
migrant children that the program is able serve at each site. This number
appears higher than the funded enrollment because Colorado's migrant
population is highly mobile, and the number of children actually served at each
site may vary as a result of the ebb and flow of the population as well as
FENWC's open enrollment system through which the program continually
replaces children who leave the program (See attached map for site locations.)
FENWC assesses the needs of families and their children and ensures that an
individualized program is adopted to meet their particular needs. A Family
Needs Assessment and Partnership Agreement are completed with each family
by a Center Director to decide how the Migrant and Seasonal Head Start
P:rogram may best support the family. Once the assessment and agreement are
complete, a plan is developed for the family, which takes into consideration the
individual needs of the child and family. Goals and objectives are developed with
the family's participation. Regular follow-up is provided.
In addition to regular classroom literacy education and activities for children, the
program plans to develop and initiate a Read-A-Thon month for children and
families, Literacy Bags and a Literacy Fair. Plans are in the works to solicit new
and gently used books in Spanish and English for the Read-A-Thon which will be
a month-long activity designed to get the entire family reading. In collaboration
with Aims Community College, the program checks out Literacy Bags to children
on a weekly basis. The bags contain books and activities for children and the
entire family to enjoy. When bags are returned, new bags can be checked out.
The program has also collaborated with Promises for Children to apply for grant
monies to double the number of Literacy Bags in the program. In addition, in a
community-wide initiative, the program is working to develop a Literacy Fair, a
family event that will encourage literacy, enhance parenting skills and promote
school readiness.
5
Literacy will be encouraged for adults as well as General Education Diploma
(GED) support, English as a Second Language (ESL), or basic skills for
employment. Participants lacking a high school education will be enrolled in
GED/ABE classes or Remediation activities. The need for literacy enrichment will
be determined through the Family Partnership Agreement, and all families will
receive the service coordination and support necessary to reach identified goals.
The FENWC/Employment Services - "Literacy in Technology Program" will
provide adult educational services. FENWC and Employment Services of Weld
County have implemented a Wide Area Network, which includes adult literacy
programs and General Education Diploma (GED) programs. The project uses
the highly successful INVEST-Destinations Curriculum/Program, which has a
successful rate of educational gain. Studies indicate a full grade-level gain for
eight hours of study, using the Destinations approach.
Monolingual non-English speaking families will be provided with English as a
Second Language classes either through the "Literacy in Technology Program's"
Rosetta Stone Curriculum or referrals to appropriate agencies in the community.
Upon mastery in the English language, the families will proceed into remedial
and vocational education to promote self-sufficiency and employability retention,
if the need is indicated on the Family Partnership Agreement. The adult
educational level will be a minimum high school graduation or GED, or equivalent
grade level at the end of the program. Many will move on to vocational or higher
education. With an increased literacy level, it will be possible for parents to
continue their education and/or receive vocational or other training leading to
gainful employment, and leave the welfare and public assistance rolls.
Networking endeavors of FENWC include establishing stronger working
relationships with the Weld County School Districts. We have developed a
"neighborhood school" concept; seven of ten sites are located on elementary
school campuses or within the elementary school facility. Transitional activities
are occurring at all sites. FENWC staff has the opportunity to share in the in-
services and training of the school districts, parents have early exposure to the
school system and; therefore, are enabled to assist their child toward a
successful educational experience. Children are successfully transitioned into
the public school system; as service delivery is enhanced by the public school,
and special needs children continue receiving services without interruption.
The staff of FENWC is involved in many community organizations and boards
that provide direct and support services for families and children. By this
involvement our program is apprized of the needs of families and the community,
and is able to assist families with many of their needs. Employment and literacy
are a great need of Head Start families. Our relationship with the Weld County
Department of Human Services, Employment Services allows Center Directors to
6
effectively assist families with their employment and literacy needs. The
Computer Learning Lab of Employment Services coordinates with the program to
connect computers in all Head Start centers via a Wide Area Network (WAN)
which allows our families easier access to a literacy program. The program also
offers the benefits of educational opportunities for staff.
If the programs through Employment Services do not meet the needs of the
families, there are numerous resources in the community that families can be
referred to, including Right to Read, Aims Community College and Catholic
Charities Northern. FENWC has an excellent working relationship with
community agencies.
The Education Component utilizes Creative Curriculum in all classrooms and
supplements it with the Ounce Scale for infants, as a curricular framework to
meet the diverse needs of the children served. Children's primary language is
spoken and written in the classroom as a springboard to learning English. At
Center Committee and Policy Council meetings, parents are encouraged to help
with curriculum planning to ensure that the program is meeting the individual and
cultural needs of the children. Regular outcomes assessment of children's
progress toward individual goals helps maintain classroom focus and monitor
and adjust curriculum delivers to ensure success for all children.
The program utilizes the ASQ screening tool to identify possible delays or
disabilities. If the screening pinpoints a possible developmental problem,
professionals complete further assessment, by which the most suitable means to
serve a child is determined. After the process is complete, and after securing a
professional determination, an Individual Education Plan (IEP) or Individual
Family Service Plan (IFSP) is written by an interdisciplinary team including the
parents. Team development of the plan ensures that the child receives the
benefit of support in the classroom as well as in the home. Follow-up and
support for the family are done via home visits, parent/teacher conferences and
telephone contacts (when possible). This process supports the unique needs of
each child and family.
To promote a viable, functional Policy Council, FENWC will conduct training on
roles and responsibilities, beginning with Center Committee Meetings. After
parents have received initial training, they will select Center Committee officers
and representatives to the Policy Council. New Policy Council members attend
an annual orientation at the program's expense to ensure they are able to fulfill
their duties. In addition, the Policy Council members meet annually with the
Governing Body, the Weld Board of County Commissioners for training and
orientation. Policy Council meets monthly, with the exception of the months of
December and January, unless the Council determines that a special meeting is
warranted.
7
The Family Educational Network of Weld County is committed to providing at-risk
children and families with a developmentally appropriate, comprehensive
program that will promote self-esteem, foster social competence, develop
independence, and enable children and families to experience future lifetime
successes. The program believes that to ensure success we must work with
entire families for children to develop self-esteem and be successful in future life
endeavors. It is critical that the program work with the parents so they
understand the important role they have in their child's life, as the primary
educator. FENWC works with parents so they may gain confidence to work with
their children at home and learn now to advocate for their children in the school
setting.
Belief Statements: We believe
• In a high quality program which provides continued
education and services to families and children before,
during and after Head Start services,
• In building a network of partnerships with the community,
staff and families to establish mutual respect of the services
we share among one another,
• That educating children, families and staff in basic health
and nutrition practices will establish a firm foundation for
positive and culturally relevant learning and well-being,
• That the power of families happens when the community
comes together and shares the responsibility of helping the
families and educators share their ideas and opinions to be
better heard and respected,
• That working together as a team, including staff and families,
we can create a comprehensive program which will meet
everyone's needs,
• In a supportive, culturally sensitive learning environment for
children, parents and staff that is developmentally and age-
appropriate and promotes social competence, emotional
physical and cognitive growth,
• In promoting and respecting personal and professional
growth, and in helping to build a community that respects
and supports the individual needs of each staff member,
adult, and child in our program, thereby ensuring that
children and families with diverse needs are valued
members of society.

T/TA PLAN
FAMILY EDUCATIONAL NETWORK OF WELD COUNTY
TRAINING AND TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE PLAN 2006
MIGRANT AND SEASONAL HEAD START
Plan Narrative
Stage I: Plan Foundation
The development of FENWC's Training and Technical Assistance plan involved
the review and utilization of evaluatory data from the following:
2004 PRISM review results,
An analysis of Self-Assessment data, including child outcomes,
National Head Start initiatives and priorities,
The Strategic Plan goals and objectives,
Professional Development Plans and Performance Appraisals of staff,
Parent surveys,
Staff Surveys,
Parent and Policy Council meetings
Governing Body meetings,
Community Assessment data, and
NRS data
Not only did the analysis include identification of performance gaps, but focused as well
on the program's efforts toward continuous improvement.
• The program's Self-Assessment, professional development plans and staff
surveys identified a need to continue to refine and structure the Program's system
of Staff Professional Development. This critical focus, also a national priority, is
driving the reorganization of the program's current system.
• A Board, parent and staff review of the staff performance appraisals process and
staff surveys targeted a need for better understanding of the supervisory and
evaluation components of management as a training and technical assistance
priority.
• The Community Assessment, staff and parent surveys, child outcomes data and
NRS data identified a need for technical assistance in the areas of science and
math and a need to continue to work on literacy. Large numbers of kindergartners
in the cachement area have been identified as beginning school with poor skills.
• The program's Self-Assessment,professional development plans and staff
surveys identified an ongoing need to support staff in their efforts to complete
higher education degrees. This national priority has resulted in FENWC
collaborating with Aims Community College to secure grant dollars to support
teachers and teacher assistants. At this time there are no grant dollars available
for other program staff.
Prioritization: The ranking of priority of needs was based on 1) national MSHS
Branch initiatives and priorities, 2) community assessment identified needs, and 4) self-
assessment and survey-identified needs.
II. Stage 2: Training and Technical Assistance Goals for 2006:
FENWC has identified four(4) priority goals, listed below, to be addressed by this
Training and Technical Assistance Plan. Each of these goals is developed in
detail on the following pages, to include measurable objectives and learning
outcomes, training activities, learning outcomes, resources, cost, and timeline.
Goal#1 Education/Literacy: FENWC will secure ongoing technical assistance on
the implementation of Creative Curriculum in order to
support the national child-literacy initiatives and enhance
best practice strategies for supporting school success for
children with disabilities.
Goal#2 Education/School Readiness: FENWC will improve the effectiveness of
math and science classroom components in order to support
school readiness.
Goal#3 Staff Professional Development: FENWC will provide financial support to
staff in their effort to secure Early Childhood Education
degrees or other degrees appropriate to their position in
higher education.
Goal#4 Staff Professional Development/Supervision: FENWC will ensure that
supervisory staff are provided with training on the
supervision and evaluation of employees.
III. Stage III Plan and Delivery System
See the Budget Detail and the following attachments that plot the plan and its system of

FENWC will utilize its internal monthly monitoring system, performance evaluation,
staff, parent and community surveys, NRS and child-outcomes data, monthly staff and
parent meetings, Policy Council meetings, Governing Board meetings and its annual
Program Self-Assessment to report progress and monitor expenditures, as well as to
measure and evaluate the effectiveness of the Training and Technical Assistance Plan, as
outlined in the attachments that follow. Those findings will be utilized as a means to
adjust or modify goals or objectives as the program moves through the Plan. The
program will maintain ongoing documentation in the Program Training Record of the
delivery of all T/TA.
2
V. Stage V Evaluation
FENWC will utilize its internal monthly monitoring system, performance evaluation,
staff, parent and community surveys,NRS and child-outcomes data, monthly staff and
parent meetings, Policy Council meetings, Governing Board meetings and its annual
Program Self-Assessment to report progress and monitor expenditures, as well as to
measure and evaluate the effectiveness of the Training and Technical Assistance Plan, as
outlined in the attachments that follow. Those findings will be utilized as a means to

ECONOMIC/INCOME PROFILE
Weld County
The most current and complete statistics reflect the income levels and profiles from 2003. The
economy has changed from a predominately agricultural economy to a more diversified economy,
including an increase in the service and manufacturing industries. Although 75% of Weld County
land is devoted to agriculture,just 5%of jobs are in farming, down from 7% in 2000, according to a
5-year agricultural census. Twenty-nine percent (29%) of work is in technical, sales and
administrative support jobs. Twenty-two percent(22%)of the jobs are in managerial or professional
positions; sixteen percent(16%)are in transportation,assembly and machine work. In each of the
following is thirteen-percent (13%) of the jobs, private household and service jobs and precision,
production and repair jobs. The U.S. Department of Labor estimated that in 2004, there were an
estimated 260 migrant and seasonal farmworkers in the Greeley/Weld Countyarea.
According to a survey conducted by the Work Force Centers in Larimer and Weld Counties: the
growth in employment exceeded the growth in the labor force by close to a .25% rate, 53% of job
openings are 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.

Larimer County
Approximately 1,000 farm workers presently work in Larimer County. The labor needs are sporadic
among the farmers in terms of timing and level of need. Urban development as well as devaluation
of current crops is forcing more farmers to consider the high-value vegetable market,however;labor
needs are higher for this type of production. There is an increase of industry, such as processing
plants as a result of this agricultural development.

Colorado continues to rank 26th in child well being
The Colorado Department of Education (CDE), Early Childhood Initiatives has completed family
needs assessments, comprehensive on-site evaluations and has required a community self-
assessment plan annually from Weld County since1995. Family CONNECTS is the local agency
responsible for implementation of services required under IDEA-Part C(Individuals with Disabilities
Education Act-Birth to Three Years)who reports to CDE,the lead agency for Colorado and as part
of the federal monitoring requirements completes assessment and site review activities. There are
22 child cay care service providers, 5 day care centers,three Montessori child development centers,
3 preschool centers and one nursery school in the Greeley area.
The reports for the last five years have all indicated similar needs identified by the families and
providers interviewed:
• Families want to have services be provided inclusively in their homes and community.
• Children with disabilities are included on a small scale but there is a need for an increase in
inclusive services.
• The lack of transportation is a barrier for families to access services and supports.
The language barrier and limited number of culturally sensitive professionals isolates many
the monolingual Spanish-speaking families. (over 52%of the children enrolled in FENWC's
Regional Head Start program are monolingual Spanish speaking).
• Weld County has a great history of agency collaboration but limited funds to expand
services.
• More funding needs to be allocated for families with young children (birth to three years).
• Families want a person/service coordinator that is available regularly to help them navigate
systems.
Families need support to access childcare and respite care for children with special needs.
Need for moderately priced housing
The Weld County Childcare and Youth Supervision Task Force contracted with the University of
Northern Colorado to conduct a needs assessment on childcare and youth supervision. The
assessment was broken into three age categories, 0-5 years, 6-12 years, and 13-18 years.
The following is an excerpt from the study:
"Perceived childcare needs for children age 5 and under in Weld County - Respondents
were asked to indicate what childcare services they would like to have available for children
age 5 and under in their community. The majority of comments related to the need for 1)
childcare that was more flexible, 2) infant-care (age 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 relatively small at 2%-5%,and those are generally
filled within weeks of the vacancy.

Housing continues to be a concern in Weld County. There are limited low to moderate income
housing units in the vicinity. The waiting lists for subsidized housing are lengthy. Families wait from
six months up to two years before they are placed in affordable housing. The current vacancy rate
in Weld County is 3.3%.

Community Health Clinics are available within Weld County. Sunrise Community Health Clinic in
Greeley provides services to families in northern Weld County, The Children's Clinic focuses on
providing services to children in the community. Plan de Salud del Valle provides services to families
in southern Weld County, and the Weld County Health Department has services available to all
families within Weld County. There however, are gaps within the system. There also is a need for
affordable medical care, primary care providers and medical insurance for those families who do not
qualify for Medicaid or CHP+.
Mental Health services in Weld County are lacking. Persons in need of services have to wait for an
average of six weeks to be seen at the North Range Behavioral Health Services, unless they are in
a crisis situation. North Range Behavioral Health Services provides services on a sliding fee scale
basis to Weld County residents; however, the majority of services are to clients in Northern Weld
County,and minimal services are available in Southern Weld County. They are currently enhancing
services in southern Weld County,and expanding their outreach efforts to the Hispanic Population
via a new program - Multi-Cultural Services Outreach Program.
Transportation is also an issue in Weld County,especially in the rural areas. There is a bus system
within the City of Greeley that reaches to Evans. The Division of Human Services, Mini-Van system
provides services to families in the rural areas; however,the families must be attached to a program
that has contracted Mini-Van services. Families without transportation have to rely on family
members and friends for transportation in order to receive services.
Another issue identified by both Head Start parents, and the community at large via the "Weld
County Childcare and Youth Supervision Needs Assessment Survey"is a need for infant and toddler
child care in the community. Head Start parents also responded that there is need for more child
programs particularly in the Hudson/Keenesburg where there is only one child care center besides
Head Start,and in Northern Weld County,where only one early child hood program is offered in the
area.

COLORADO FARM INCOME/CROP REVIEW
State Overview
The combined value of production for small grain hay and late season row crops (excluding sugar
beets)produced in 2003 totaled 1.17 billion down 16% down from the comparable value of$1.39
billion for the 2002 crops. A continuation of drought conditions during 2003 resulted in a smaller
output than the previous year for each crop except corn and silage potatoes. The hot dry weather
and water shortages in many areas resulted in increased abandonment of planted acres and
reduced yield potential.
Hay continued to be the state's leading crop in terms of value of production. The 2003 total hay crop
was valued at $352.2 million, down 2% from a year earlier. The 2003 alfalfa crop was valued at
nearly$230.4 million down 11%.
Corn was the state's second leading crop in terms of value with total value of production from grain
and silage estimated at$348 million, down 5%.
The estimated value for production of all potatoes is at$126.8 million, down 34.
Wheat produced in 2003 valued at$262.6 million, ranking third in terms of value of production
Dry bean production declined 24% from a year earlier valued at nearly $20.4 million. Producers
harvested the lowest acreage of dry beans since 1921.
Sugar beet production totaled 644.000 tons in 2003, down 19% from the 2002 crop, the smallest
crop since 1985. Greeley's Great Western Sugar Company closed its doors in 2003 with sugar
production moving to Fort Morgan's refinery.
Vegetable Crop Review
Vegetable growers in Colorado harvested 8.45 million cwt. of produce from seven fresh market
crops during 2003 that had a total value of$99.6 million, down 9% from the same crops in the
previous year. Production was lower than the previous year except for sweet corn.
➢ Production of dry storage onions in 2003 totaled nearly 3.9 million cwt., down 11% from the
previous year. Onions represented 47 percent of the total value from the seven crops, with an
estimated value of$51.0 million.
➢ Carrots, the second largest vegetable ($11.87 million, 17% down from the previous year) crop
produced in the state.
➢ Cabbage, ranked fourth at a value of$10.6 million, a decrease of 2%.
➢ Sweet corn was the third leading vegetable crop;total production increased 44% with a value of
$11.8 million..
16
➢ Lettuce had the fifth highest production and ranked fifth in value of production at$5.74million.
➢ Cantaloupe ranked sixth in production and value; the value was down to $4.83 million.
➢ Spinach placed seventh with value down to $3.68 million.
Fruit Crop Review
Fruit crop production totaled 45.2 million pounds, down 1% from 2001. Larger crops than a year
ago were produced for peaches and peras. The apple and cherry crops were smaller.
Concerns about water shortages were addressed by producers being more conservative in
water usage which resulted inadequate supplies in most areas. The combined fruit crop value
was $15.7 million for 200, and increase of$.3 million. Prices received by producers were higher
per unit for fruit with the exception of apples.
> Peach production for 2002 was six times larger than was produced in 2001. Total value of the
crop in 2002 was$10.49 million, up 11%from 2001. The value of peach production represented
66.9% of the total fruit crop value.
> Apple producers harvested 21 million pounds of apples in 2002, down 9%from 2001. The value
of production at$3.69 million was down 23% from 2001. Apples were the second leading fruit
crop accounting for 23.5 % of the total production of fruit crops.
➢ Pear production was up 25% from 2001 with a total value of$1.4 million, an increase of 46%.
> Tart Cherry production was down 50%from 2001. The total value of the utilized production was
40% down from 2001.

SUMMARY OF AREA FARMWORKER ISSUES
North Central Colorado
North Central Colorado consists of the following counties, Weld,Adams,Boulder,and Larimer. This
area is very rich agriculturally and the following crops only represent a portion of the produce from
this area: sugar beets, pickles, onions, potatoes, lettuce, spinach, corn, sweet grain, silage, and
carrots.
The total farm worker population in this area is estimated at 10,500. The Colorado Department of
Education, Migrant Education Program identified 459 farm worker children. The Colorado
Department of Health, Farm Worker Health Program provided services to 394 farm worker children,
ages 0-13 years(138 Migrant Head enrolled). As is true in North Eastern Colorado, there continues
to be an increase of solo-males entering the area for work, and fewer families migrating into the
area. 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.
The needs for farm worker families in this area are:
1)Housing;only one labor camp is scheduled to serve families, the other labor camps will serve
solo-males. All labor camps that provided housing for migrant families no longer are operational
2) Medical services are limited as funds are inadequate for the provision of proper staffing,
health supplies and follow-up. The local Migrant Health Clinics are inundated with migrant
families and only are able to provide minimal care. The areas of greatest concern are pre and
peri-natal care, immunizations of children, long term intervention and pesticide awareness.
3) There is high competition for work, wages are low, and working conditions are poor.

The Western Slope of Colorado is located west of the Continental Divide. The following counties will
be provided Migrant Head Start Services by FENWC: Delta, Mesa and Montrose. The primary
crops in the area consist of apples, cherries,peaches, broccoli, cauliflower, sweet corn, lettuce and
grapes. Seventy percent(70%)of the tree crops are located in Delta County. The growing season
runs from April through October, with the peak season beginning the middle of June and ending
mid-September. According to grower surveys, local farm workers are involved in the planting and
initial phases of crop production.
Mobile-migrants begin arriving into the area in mid-June and stay through the beginning of
September. This area is also seeing fewer families migrating into the area. The families arriving in
the area tend to settle-out and become active members of community.
It is estimated that there are approximately 1300 farm workers in the area, 95 migrant families with
150 children. The Colorado Department of Education, Migrant Education Program identified 108
eligible migrant children. The Colorado Department of Health, Migrant Health Program served 108
eligible migrant children.
The needs and issues for the migrant families in this area are:
1) High Pregnancy Rates
2) Medical/dental Care
3) Safe/Sanitary Housing
4) Spouse Abuse
5) Mental Health Services
6) Migrant Child Care
7) Transportation

OVERALL PROGRAM IMPACTING ISSUES
Internal Issues:
The following issues have been identified through our internal monitoring system; these concerns
affect both the Regional and Migrant Head Start Programs.
> There is not a wait list of at least 10%. Migrant Head Start has not met funded enrollment.
> Information is not consistently input into the information system,therefore; making it very difficult
to collect and analyze information for planning purposes.
> There is a lack of space to adequately meet the needs of both Regional and Migrant Head Start
eligible children.
State/Community Issues:
The following issues have been identified by the program via involvement on boards,coalitions,etc.,
and also from tracking legislation and policy that effect children and families.
> As a result of Welfare Reform the number of Head Start eligible families has been reduced.
> Immigration Legislation, our programs provide services to a significant number of families who
may not be documented, or who are citizens and their parents are not documented or
naturalized.
> There is a lack of bilingual service providers.
> The resistance of the Local Education Agencies to provide necessary services to children with
disabilities during the summer months, particularly the migrant population,and the full-day/year
programs.
> Low to mid-income housing is scarce. In Weld County the average cost of a "new" home is
$150,000.00.
> Inadequate compliance with field sanitation standards.
> Inconsistent migrant definitions.
National Issues:
> The Head Start Reauthorization increased staff qualifications requirement without funding to
increase salaries.
> The migrant definition.
> Full year/day emphasis for Head Start Programming.
> The possibility of Head Start being transferred from DHS to Dept of Ed.
> Block granting of Head Start programs.

keeping Olathe open through the middle of December; other program opening and closing dates
will remain the same. The program will continue to serve 266 children in a center-based
program design. We have applied for program expansion grant dollars to serve an additional 16
children, but at this time we have no information as to the disposition of that application.
Increased efforts will continue in the areas of child literacy initiatives, father involvement, and
staff credentialing.
