BUDGET NARRATIVE
HEAD START
COST OF LIVING ALLOWANCE
The Cost of Living Allowance (COLA) break down by staff is attached. The breakdown
includes a 3.4129% increase in total salaries and fringe for a total of$32,136.00. The salary
increase is 2.8931% for a total of$24,445.00. The fringe increase is .5198% for a total
$7,691.00. The old and new hourly rates are listed by staff on the attachment. The balance of
$1,228.00 will be used to compensate for staff that enroll in health insurance or get step increases
during the year. The percentages were set to coincide with the Migrant Head Start COLA.
BUDGET NARRATIVE
QUALITY IMPROVEMENT
The Quality Improvement monies will be used for 50% salary and fringe for a
Vocational/Educational Assistant (see attached job description), to provide literacy training to
parents and staff using the new technological educational system being installed into the twelve
Head Start Centers. The cost break down is$10,806.00 for salary and $2,431.00 for fringe benefits.
The balance $26,036.00 will be used for on-going costs, maintenance and supplies for the system.
On-going costs include payments to US West for the telephone and communication lines, costs for
hardware maintenance, and any upgrades necessary for the program operation.
Based upon our salary survey, we could not justify using the Quality Improvement funds for
additional staff salary and benefits. Weld County provides a benefit package which surpasses the
benefit packages provided by other early childhood agencies in the community. The salaries also
pay an average of$3.00 more than the early childhood agencies in this community. Attached is the
current wage comparability study.
BUDGET NARRATIVE
TRAINING AND TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE
The additional $5,257.00 will be added to our current PA20 (Training and Technical Assistance)
pool to assist staff pay for professional development. See attached Professional Development Plan.
MATCH NARRATIVE
HEAD START
Match for the Cost of Living Allowance (COLA), Quality Improvement (QI), and Training and
Technical Assistance (T&TA), for a total of$19,472.00 will come from additional documented
volunteer time in the classrooms.
