QUALITY IMPROVEMENT
First,FENWC is setting up a continuing maintenance plan to renovate sites each year out of this grant. This
includes paint,carpet,tile, skirting,roofing,ceiling and any other needs the particular site might have. This cost is
estimated to be at$100,000.(Other)
FENWC would like to use these funds to upgrade big classroom furniture, ie,cabinets,desks,chairs, cubbies,
shelving etc. Estimated cost is this area would be$36,597. (Supplies)
The FENWC computer system needs continuing upgrades to keeping it working to capacity. We need to upgrade
the PC's to be able to use the upgraded software to its potential. We estimate the cost to upgrade 25 PC's at
approximately$1500 each at$37,500 in Other.
Also,the cost of also upgrading the software,the set-up of new PC's and the maintenance costs of upkeep is
estimated at$25,000. (Other)
With these funds,FENWC would like to increase teachers one grade up on the pay scale for receiving an AA or BA
degree in Early Childhood Development or related field and completing the teacher mentor course within 1 year of
hire.We estimate 2 teachers in this period will complete the requirements. That cost to HS is estimated at$689 in
salary and$158 in fringe.

COLA NARRATIVE
The Family Educational Network of Weld County has year-round staff. The staff works for both the regular Head
Start Program as well as the Migrant Head Start Program. Therefore,we get the COLA funding from both
programs and allocate it out across the annual salaries of staff retroactive to Jan. 1st. Migrant Head Start funded
$58,764.77 for COLA.However,we are prorating this amount as we did the PA23 and PA20. It is prorated by the
same percentage as the other grants 75.18%which gives us the Migrant COLA amount of$44,112. Head Start
funded$70,519 for a total of$114,631 for COLA this year. On the next page, Salary Breakdown,the COLA
breakdown is in the spreadsheet,showing allocation to salary and fringe,as well as old hourly rate and new hourly
rate. The allocation gives an overall increase to salaries of 4.27%and 1.03 %to fringe for an overall increase of
5.3% for the year round allocation. For MHS the breakdown would be $35,580.14 in salary and$8,531.86 in
fringe. For Head Start,the breakdown would be$$56,879.66 in salaries and$13,639.34 in fringe.

Re: Refunding Application
Dear Marlene:
This letter serves to certify that the Family Educational Network of Weld County is in
compliance with Section 653 of the Head Start Act.
Section 653 of the Head Start Act, assures "that persons employed in carrying our
programs financed under this sub-chapter shall not receive compensation at a rate which
is (1) in excess of the average rate of compensation paid in the area where the program
is carried out to a substantial number of persons providing substantially comparable
services, or in excess of the average rate of compensation paid to a substantial number
of the persons providing substantially comparable services in the area of the person's
immediately preceding employment, whichever is higher;..."
Submitted to your office was a summary of our most current Wage Comparability Scale,
which demonstrates that the wages we pay our staff are substantially higher than wages
paid to other persons in our community providing substantially comparable services.
If you need further information or clarification please contact me at (970)353-3800,
extension 3342, or you can e-mail me at tamava@co.weld.co.weld.
