Contractual:
Contracted Transportation-This is the estimated contract transportation for the Western Slope area.
At the time of the grant being put in, the bid process for transportation was still in process. Laidlaw
Transportation was awarded the contract. We are paying by the mile,so the maximum the service will cost
is estimated at$50,000.
Medical/Dental/Screening - This line item covers the cost for all screening, dental, medical and
pharmaceutical services for all children will be estimated at$45,000.
Mental Health Assess-Cost of contracted mental health services by North Range Behavioral Services—based
on previous year maximum cost estimated at$10000.
Children's food -Pays for the costs of childrens suppers not covered by the CACFP reimbursement. The
service is contracted by several sites depending on location—school districts,nursing homes, and child care
sites.
Adult food - Pays for the costs of adult meals for teachers, ta's, and volunteers who are supervising the
mealtimes for the children in the family style setting. These costs are contracted out and are not reimbursable
by USDA. These meals are contracted via the same source as the childrens meals.
Other:
Utilities-this cost was figured on a historical basis--approximately$1055 per site per MHS year. It includes
cost for water, electricity,gas and trash.
Telephone-this cost was calculated on a historical basis of$167/site/MHS year.
Child Liability Insurance-Based on last years billing.
Maintenance/Repair-Cost is estimated on historical basis of school district charges.
Vehicle Operating Expenses - The Weld County Department of Transportation will be providing our
transportation for all of our sites in the Weld County Area.Transportation is treated as an Internal Service Pool
and serves most all of the Division of Human Services(DHS)transportation needs. Charges for this service
are based on the number of miles and the number of hours the transportation department spends on each of the
areas/programs it serves. In the past these costs were broken down and charged in separate line items for
personnel costs and operating costs.Now, all of the areas/programs will receive a direct one line item cost,
based on the above criteria,that will include a combined total of all the costs incurred. We have budgeted for
this service based on historical cost patterns.
Local Travel-These funds are used for coordinators mileage reimbursement for travel to and from the centers
to monitor progress. Mileage is reimbursed at$.305 per mile.
Continued Other;
Parent Activities-PPC account that is budgeted by them for allowable MHS Parent needs---i.e.,meeting
costs,parent activity needs and supplies,necessary mileage for meetings, child care costs for meetings,per
diem for parents participating in activities and trainings, etc. The budget is planned out by the PPC and run
through their own checking account.
Subscriptions/Memberships-It includes subscriptions to publications used at the centers. It also includes
registration costs.
Printing/Advertising-Funds used to advertise for staff and clients for the program.
CDA and TA training-The$26727 will be used for training costs to get all new staff up to requirements of
program as well as the needed continuing training and education.(T&TA)PA20
Other DP-This covers the continuing maintenance cost of the new computer project.
Administrative Overhead /Direct Allocated Costs - This is a change associated with the new financial
system we are using. This cost is the administrative cost that the program incurs through the DHS. Like the
transportation costs,these costs are compiled in an Internal Service Pool and are charged to the programs based
on the number of hours that the administrative staff spends on each of the programs it serves. The budgeted
amount is based on an approximate 20%coverage.

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. Migrant Head Start funded$40,762 for COLA, while Head Start
funded$45,411 for a total of$86,173 for COLA this year. On Attachment 1,Salary Breakdown,the COLA breakdown
is in the middle of 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 3.2738%and .6466%to fringe for an overall increase of
3.9204% for the year round allocation. I have attached a printout of just those columns from the spreadsheet and
attached it as the following page. For MHS the breakdown would be$34,770 in salary and$5,992 in fringe.

QUALITY IMPROVEMENT&
TEACHER QUALITY IMPROVEMENT
QUALITY IMPROVEMENT—
The Weld County pay scale added an additional step 8 to give an increase to employees who have worked for the
County for 13 years or more. The Family Educational Network of Weld County(FENWC)has its own pay scale within
the County system. We felt it was prudent to stay within the guidelines as the County scale,so we added a step 8 to the
FENWC pay scale with the QI funding. This period it will only effect two people for a salary and fringe increase of
$1530 in salary and fringe.
Secondly, our FENWC computer system needs continuing upgrades to keeping it working to capacity. We need to
enhance the size of the file server,software and type of lines we are using all over the County and State. We estimate
the annual cost to this grant at approximately$12,000 in other.
Additionally, we have never addressed the increases in costs to the admin staff, admin overhead, transportation
personnel and vehicle overhead. These costs go up annually,irregardless of what grant funds do. We would like to use
some of this funding to address those increasing costs in those areas. This would include $26,300 increase to
transportation and$15,043 to admin. Both are in the other category.
TEACHER QUALITY IMPROVEMENT—
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 7 teachers in this period will complete the requirements. That cost is estimated at$5088 in salary and
fringe.
Also,in this category,$7912 is set aside to pay for tuition,books and fees for the upgrading of teachers. This is in the
other category.
NON-FEDERAL MATCH BREAKDOWN
County Central Service Costs&Depreciation costs—County donated central service costs+depreciation costs
on modulars paid by general revenue and not charged to grant--$122,787.
Parent Volunteer time---Documented time parents devote in the classrooms,at meetings and trainings and other
Migrant Head Start activities,will be calculated to donate to the program. The estimated amount is$45,000 and
is based on current rate of accumulation. Time is calculated based on equivalent job value of service plus fringe.
SCT/County donation of connective infrastructure for continuing computer project needs.-555,000.
Donated value of food for meetings or classroom needs is estimated at$5,000.
Donated value of classroom supplies from vendors--$5,500.
Donated value of biologics given to program from the CDOH---$1,000.
Donated value of medicaUdentaUdisability services--$53,000.
Donated value of time and services from Weld School Districts—$40,000
Donated value of transportation by contractor--S5,000.
State match for wrap around child care----$50,000.

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 Head Start
framework. FENWC works with various agencies to identify the needs of migrant and seasonal
farm worker families and determines eligibility for Migrant Head Start Children. We individualize
programs so that they are responsive 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 document is a working document to stimulate social, emotional, motor
and intellectual learning experiences; self-reliance, self-esteem and self-confidence are
encouraged, thus, they establish the principles for future educational success.
• Health Services. Our Health Area works in collaboration with local migrant health
clinics and private providers to furnish a broad range of medical, dental and mental health
activities. We identify children with disabilities,and Migrant Health and local migrant clinics
provide services for them. We provide health and nutrition education to the parents to
promote sound physical and mental child development.
• Family Services/Parent Involvement. Family Services works directly with various 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 total staff. Parent participation is
encouraged in the decision-making process of their children's education and the overall
operation of the program. We support parents in their role and jointly develop goals for
their children.
The Family Educational Network of Weld County is committed to providing migrant and seasonal
farm worker children and 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. We are also attempting to secure
additional financial assistance from the local Department of Human Services, Child Care
Assistance Programs.
1
Children qualify through the following funding sources: The Migrant Head Start and Head Start
Programs, Colorado Preschool Program, School District' Disabilities Funds, and families paying
for services. During the summer months the Migrant Head Start Children have their own
classrooms so that we meet their unique needs. FENWC currently has eleven sites throughout
Northern Colorado.
I. OVERVIEW OF PROGRAM DESIGN:
The Family Educational Network of Weld County proposes to continue its comprehensive Migrant
Head Start Program to provide services to eligible migrant children and families. Our targeted
enrollment is 250 children. Our enrollment will include Seasonal Farm Worker children. The
definition for a seasonal farm worker will remain the same as the migrant farm worker, extending
the movement requirement to thirty-six (36), months rather than twenty-four (24).
Priority will be given to the migrant farm worker children, and slots 118 will he held for migrant
children.
All centers operate sixty hours per week. Children will receive services Monday through Friday,
6:00 a.m., until 6:00 p.m. We have arranged with local child care providers to provide services for
children who may enter the area ahead of schedule or stay longer than most families. During this
time, community-service workers will provide the case management of families and ensure that
comprehensive Head Start services commence upon the day of enrollment. We will conduct
educational home visits with the families once per week.
We have decreased the size of the infant and toddler classrooms to comply with Head Start
Performance Standards. This requires hiring additional staff for one additional infant, and one
additional toddler classroom in Greeley. Other issues that have affected our budget are;the loss
of USDA meal reimbursements for a fourth meal, the inability of the Colorado Migrant Health
Program to help us with health care, and increasing transportation costs.
The Program Options proposed are:
PA-23 Extended Day/Extended Week, Monday through Friday (twelve hours per
day),serving infants,toddlers and preschool age children and their families.
PA-23 Disabilities Extended Day/Extended Week, Migrant Head Start/Handicapped Services,
serving infants, toddlers and preschool age children and their families.
The following center information includes the anticipated number of eligible migrant children that
we will serve. The number of children that we serve at each site may be higher than the number
licensed by the State of Colorado Department of Human Services, Office of Child Care Services.
Colorado's migrant population is extremely mobile. We have an open enrollment system and
continually replace children, therefore; this allows a higher projection of numbers at each site.
See attached map for site locations.

The primary objectives of FENWC are to provide the following services to Migrant Head Start
children and families to foster a higher degree of social competence: 1) Parent Involvement, 2)
Health Services, 3) Nutritional Services, 4) Social Services, and 5) Educational Services. The
Family Educational Network of Weld County also encourages active parent involvement in the
following manners: 1) Parent Policy Council, 2) Center Committee, 3) in the classroom as paid
volunteers or observers, 4) volunteers in the component areas, 5) working with the children at
home, 6) taking the lead as the primary educator/caretaker of the child.
A major emphasis continues to be parent education. When eligible families are enrolled into the
program, they receive an informational packet regarding the program and specific component
areas and responsibilities. The packet includes educational, nutritional,mental health and disability
educational material. Parents receive educational information that we provide via the Parent
Involvement Van,Home Visits,and information sent home with their children. Information available
to families includes books and videos that they can check out from the Parent Involvement Van,
lending libraries. Area agencies also coordinate visits to migrant families with the Van.
FENWC works cooperatively with Weld County's Division of Human Services, Learning Lab and
other educational institutions to provide literacy services to the migrant farm workers. We have
expanded the coordination of literacy services with the learning lab to include technological
(computerized) adult basic educational programs and English as Second Language.
Computerized instructional services will be available at all centers. We refer migrant families to
appropriate agencies for education, if the computerized instructional services do not meet the
needs of the families.
The Family Educational Network of Weld County 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 service
coordinator to decide how the Migrant Head Start Program may support the family. Once the
assessment and agreement are complete, a plan is written 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. The goal of the Family Partnership Agreement is to move families toward
"self-sufficiency." Regular follow-up is provided.
4
To promote a viable,functioning Policy Council, FENWC will conduct trainings at the center levels
and with the Parent Involvement Van. After they have trained parents at this level, parents will
select representatives for the Policy Council. We will hold Policy Council meetings monthly, during
the summer months(July, August, and September)and in March during the off-season. Quarterly
we conduct meetings with the Regional Head Start Program's Policy Council to assure coordination
of both programs. The program gives parents room and board, per diem, child care and wage
reimbursements, as needed to attend the meetings. •
The Education Component uses the developmentally appropriate High/Scope as a framework to
meet the diverse needs of the children served. We have developed a theme-based curriculum that
reflects the needs, interests and culture of the migrant population. Children's primary language is
spoken and written in the classroom. English is spoken to the children so that they are exposed
and to begin learning English. We design Lesson Plans around three Head Start areas: Education
and Health, Parent Involvement, Disabilities Services and Mental Health. Parents are involved
in curriculum planning at the Center Committee Meetings to ensure that we meet the individual and
cultural needs of the children and families. The Education Component is meeting the literacy goals
by sharing children's books at the Center Committee Meetings and through the Parent Involvement
Van's lending library.
The DDST-2 (Denver-2) is the developmental indicator we use to identify possible delays or
disabilities. If the screening pinpoints a possible developmental disability, professionals complete
further assessment, by which; the most suitable means to serve a child is determined. After the
process is complete, and receiving a professional diagnosis, an Individual Education Plan (IEP)or
Individual Family Service Plan (IFSP) is written by an interdisciplinary team including the parents.
By writing the IEP/IFSP as a team, the child receives the benefit of support in the classroom, and
in the home to ensure growth around needs. Follow-up and support for the family are done via
home visits,parent/teacher conferences and telephone contacts(if possible). Through this process
the family and child receive support for their unique needs.
The Family Educational Network of Weld County (FENWC) is dedicated to providing quality
comprehensive services to children and families. To achieve this goal, FENWC participates in a
strong network that we have developed within the communities served. This network offers
maximal support and services to migrant children and families. Besides, offering support to
families of FENWC, we have developed a system that supports staff in training, personal
development and needed direct services.
The Networking Relationships of FENWC include:
• Contract with the local migrant health clinics which offer complete, consistent and
comprehensive health/dental services to children and families. The services include
immunizations, physical examinations, medical screenings, well-child care, dental
screenings and services, and pharmaceutical needs.
• Local dentists provide on-site preventive and acute dental health care for children.
• Contracts are in place with North Range Behavioral Health Center (formerly Weld Mental
Health) and Roberta Sullivan (Western Slope). These contracts provide mental health
services to children and families and consultative services to program staff.
5
• Improved relationships with local school districts. These relationships include,free land to
place our modular centers. There remains a lack of coordination with local education
agencies, for children with disabilities. We are currently pursuing contracts with LEA's.
• FENWC is involved in many community and state-level advisory boards,coalitions and task
forces to advocate for migrant families and their children.
The Family Educational Network of Weld County 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 important that our 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 feel comfortable in a school setting to support
their children. We try to enable them to further their own educational and skill levels.

SUMMARY OF AREA FARM WORKER ISSUES
North Eastern Colorado
The Northeast area of Colorado, served by FENWC, includes the counties of Morgan, Logan.
Crops requiring farm workers are sugar beets, pickles, beans, potatoes, onions and a tomato
green house in Brush. In the past there were two principle migration waves,the first from mid-May
into late July. The second migrant impact was from mid-July to September for the potato season,
requiring farm worker labor through mid-August. The onion harvest is in the month of August.and
for the sugar beets, however; there has been a drastic reduction in the number of migratory
workers coming into the area. The majority of the farm labor is supplied from families"settled-out"
in the area. The sugar beet crops' acreage is estimated to be the same as last year. However,
similar to Weld County there has been an increase in automation which has decreased the need
for manual labor by approximately 30%. Also the Immigration and Naturalization Services (INS)is
opening an office in Brush, further discouraging migratory workers to come into the area. Due to
the strong economy and extreme low unemployment rate the growers are experiencing a severe
shortage in farm labor.
It is estimated that there are approximately 2700 farm workers in the area. The area is still
experiencing a high influx of solo-males. In the past year 16 active migrant families registered with
the employment services. The Department of Education, Migrant Education Program identified
113 migrant seasonal farm worker children. The Colorado Department of Health, Migrant Health
Program provided services for 100 farm worker children.
A large number of the farm workers working in the area are employed by the Excel Corporation
Packing Plant and work in agriculture during the summer to supplement their income. therefore,
do not qualify as migrant or seasonal farm workers under the Migrant and Seasonal Head Start
definition.
The Family Educational Network of Weld County provides Migrant Head Start Services for
approximately 30 children ages 6 weeks through 4 years old.
7
The needs for farm worker families in North Eastern Colorado are as follow:
1) A lack of affordable, adequate housing.
2) There are not adequate services for the migrant population. Plan de Salud del Valle
opened a health clinic which has had a positive impact in migrant health services.
3) There is a lack of bilingual staff in the service organizations.
4) Farm workers are paid low salaries, and working conditions are poor.
5) Child care does not meet the needs of the MSFW.
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
(68 Migrant Head Start eligible/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. As is true in North Eastern
Colorado the majority of the farm labor is supplied from families "settled-out" in the area. Due to
the strong economy and extreme low unemployment rate the growers are experiencing a severe
shortage in farm labor.
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
serve solo-males.
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) Wages are low, and working conditions generally are poor.
Western Slope
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.
8
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. Due to the strong economy and extreme low unemployment rate the
growers are experiencing a severe shortage in farm labor. Also, the Western Slope is expecting
the largest fruit crop in over twenty years, however; due to the shortage in labor the growers have
begun to"thin the buds"to prevent such a large crop, so that fruit will not rot in the fields, and that
what is grown will get picked.
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
PROGRAM ACCOMPLISHMENTS
Following is a summary of program accomplishments for the previously funded program year.
These achievements have strengthened our program and have enhanced services to the children
and families of the Migrant Head Start Program.
• We have implemented our Professional Development Program. An average of 12
employees take classes at Aims Community College per quarter.
• We have coordinated CDA courses with Aims Community College, so that students
pursuing their CDA receive credit for said classes. As a result, the Head Start Bureau,
National Office is allowing our program to consider a certificate in Early Childhood
Education from Aims the equivalent to a CDA.
• Our Management Information System and computerized literacy program is up and running.
The following is a brief summary of continued concern. There has been some progress made in
these areas; however, we continue to put forth much effort moving forward to eliminate these
issues.
• The low enrollment level of the program continues to be a concern. In hopes to improve
enrollment levels, we began recruitment days earlier. The new eligibility criteria, allowing
programs to serve seasonal farm workers as well as migrant farm workers will increase
enrollment numbers. Our definition extends the last move to thirty-six months rather than
the twenty-four month period. The reasons for lower enrollment are; growers continue to
recruit solo-males, lack of housing and more families are "settling-out"; and a strong
economy.

• Although we have made gains in our disability services, it remains difficult to secure needed
support from the Local Education Agencies. Our program has children living in fourteen
different school districts. Not all districts buy into the need to provide services for temporary
residents, particularly when the school districts do not receive reimbursement for these
children. We are trying to secure arrangements so that the districts will help with identifying
disabilities and writing Individual Education Plans/ Individual Family Service Plans for
children with (suspected) disabilities.
CHALLENGES FOR THE NEXT FUNDING CYCLE:
• Due to conflicting schedules with School District 51, in Grand Junction we continuing with
the process to movee our portable facility.
• It is becoming increasingly more difficult to recruit and retain qualified classroom staff, due
to the strong economy. This is statewide issue.
These were the three year goals we hope to attain the end of this program year. In September we
finalized our strategic plan (attached) for future years.
Goal #1: Develop a Management Information System infrastructure and network all sites
with the central office, increase our technological capacity to help parents with
literacy skills, and secure computers in the toddler and preschool classrooms.
Complete
Goal#2: Coordinate and integrate activities of the Migrant Head Start Policy Council and the
Region VIII Head Start Policy Council better to meet the overall needs of FENWC
without losing the integrity of the Migrant Head Start Programs or Region VIII Head
Start Programs. Complete
Goal #3: Have 80% of our Centers NAEYC Accredited by the year 2000. We have run into
snags in the accreditation process for the Migrant Program because of the short program
duration. The movement of parents makes it very difficult to get parent surveys' and
involvement throughout the process. Therefore, we have been unable to involve the
parents in the process. The Education Specialist has been speaking with NAEYC to figure
out a way that we can receive the accreditation in a meaningful way for our Migrant
Program.Accreditation has not been an issue with the Regional Program and four centers
are slated to receive their accreditation this spring.
Goal #4: Facilitate communication and coordination between the Migrant Head Start
Program and the Regional Program. The communication has dramatically increased
between the Migrant and Regional federal staff. An example of this coordination has been
the awarding of funding from both programs to facilitate our technological project. FENWC
has also been very diligent in communicating with program staff, so that they are aware of
issues facing our overall program.
The one area that still needs additional coordination is that of the Training and Technical
Assistance Network. There have been preliminary discussions, particularly regarding our
10
Quality Improvement Plan; however, since the T/TA system has changed gears, the
coordination has been minimal. Another area of concern is Migrant Programs receive
training in with Early Head Start, and often the trainings do not address the needs of
migrant families and children.
Goal#5: (5 year goal)All classroom staff will have a minimum CDA,both Infant/Toddler and
Preschool. Out Professional Development Plan has been approved and implemented.
GOALS FOR THIS FUNDING CYCLE
#1 Secure funding from local Departments of Social Services to supplement costs. This
will allow our program to remain operational for a longer period of time, therefore;
meeting the needs of the seasonal farm worker children.
#2 Ensure that our facility in Grand Junction is fully operational and functional for the
use of our program.
#3 Increase the number of parents using our wide area network educational system to
receive their GED, or increase their basic educational/english skills.

PROGRAM NARRATIVE
PA 23 DISABILITIES
PROGRAM YEAR 2001
The Family Educational Network of Weld(FENWC)continues to engage support from the Colorado
Department of Education, in hopes of securing support for disabilities services from all school
districts where eligible Migrant Head Start (MHS) children live. We currently have lists of all Child
Find Specialists within the fourteen school districts where MHS children reside. We are in the
process of completing agreements regarding the evaluation process and service provisions for
children suspected with having disabilities. It remains a difficult task to secure services for the
migrant population for two primary reasons; 1) There is a severe shortage of bilingual service
providers and therapists, 2) School districts do not receive reimbursement for migrant children
identified during the summer months, as they typically leave and are not receiving services at the
time of the count date. We have hired a Disabilities Services Coordinator, who has helped us in
overcoming the existing barriers.
Our program screens children, using the Denver Development Screening Tool-II (DDST-2)within
two weeks of enrollment into the program. If any child is suspect of having a disability, we refer
them to the local Child Find/Part C Team for an evaluation and recommended services. If the
Child Find/Part C Team is unable to evaluate a child,the Disability Services Specialist pulls a team
of contracted or volunteer providers to evaluate the child and develop an IEP/IFSP.
When children leave the program,a packet of information, including the Individual Education Plan
is sent with the family, in hope that services for the child may continue with as little interruption as
possible.

PROGRAM NARRATIVE
PA 20 TRAINING AND TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE
PROGRAM YEAR 2001
As was true with last year, training and technical assistance will be focused primarily on the
temporary staff. The past year FENWC assessed the training needs of these staff members and
established a task force to identify strengths and weaknesses of our training program. One
weakness we identified was the fact that we have many levels of expertise within our staff and our
training needs to be varied enough to meet the needs of all staff, not just the newer, temporary
staff. Consequently we have developed training tracks that we will use during the pre and in-
service trainings.
CDA training continues to be a priority. Currently all classrooms have CDA credentialed staff
members; however,we believe that the more staff members trained and certified,the better quality
program we have to offer our families and children. As aforementioned, one of our five year goals
that all classroom staff has both their Infant/Toddler and Preschool CDA's.
We have developed a Professional Development Plan(attached)which focuses primarily on center
level staff; however, all staff will be required to pursue professional development activities.
