Project Description: Increase the compensation and benefits of staff through a cost of living adjustment to improve overall quality of the program. Upgrades of positions to assure that compensation is adequate to maintain competitive market rates which will retain qualified staff and maintain a quality program. Also, the purchasing of additional school bus to better serve the families and children, extending a parking lot at our Madison center to in order for the parent drop off and pick up to be both more efficient and safe. The following projects were listed in the original request, but due to the cut in the State Head Start Supplemental funding (11% cut) they will no longer be funded; an increase to certain support staff and early head start staff in order to maintain competeive market rates and retain our current qualified staff, professional development, and the addition of the follwing positions; 1 bus driver, 2 bus monitor, 2 behavior support staff, and 1 mental health assistant, and purchasing of OWL curriculum kits along. The funding that will now be used to off set the cut to the State Head Start Supplemental will maintain 159 jobs at their current rates. Quarterly Activities: All staff received a cost of living adjustment July 2009. 10 staff were upgraded in their positions and received a pay increase as of August 3, 2009. A school bus was also purchased in November 2009. We increased bus monitor salaries by $1.75 per hour in order to retain staff and to stay competative within the market. Two Infant Toddler Lead Teachers were upgraded to Teacher Directers; these two Lead Teachers have always had the qualifications, but due to budget restraints were not able to be upgraded until now. Maintenance Staff and lunch delivery drivers also received an increase to maintain quality and competitive rates. The purchaseing of OWL curriculum and kits as well has a training for teaching staff was also completed this quarter. |
