Executive Summary:
The mission of the Child Care Planning Council (CCPC) of Sonoma County is to convene and inspire the community through collaboration, leadership, and advocacy to promote and plan for quality child care and development services for the benefit of all children (primarily birth to 12) and their families.
The CCPC was originally established in 1992 to meet the requirements mandated by the passage of Assembly Bill (AB) 2141, which created local child care and development planning councils to identify local priorities for child care and state preschool expansion funds. The passage of AB 1542, which established the CalWORKs program, also required the County Superintendent and the Board of Supervisors to designate a local child care planning council to establish priorities for state-funded child care and development services and to develop a comprehensive countywide plan for child care. It is this bill that connects CalWORKs, and the Sonoma County Human Services Department, to the CCPC. On September 29, 1998, the County Superintendent of Schools and the Board of Supervisors authorized the CCPC of Sonoma County, staffed by the Sonoma County Office of Education.
Discussion:
The CCPC recommends the appointment and re-appointment of members to the Board of Supervisors and the County Superintendent of Schools. Members are jointly appointed to the local child care planning council in 5 categories of membership: 1) Consumers, 2) Child Care Providers, 3) Public Agency Representatives, 4) Community Representatives, and 5) Discretionary Appointees of the Board and the Superintendent.
The CCPC bylaws allow up to 35 members, and current membership is 23 members. There are usually between 20-25 active members on the Council, however there will still be 12 openings for additional members after these appointments/re-appointments are approved.
The CCPC makes every effort to assure that the ethnic, racial and geographic composition is reflective of the county. The CCPC Membership Chair and Committee have been working hard over the last year to increase membership by posting openings on the Child Care Planning Council website and the County Boards and Commissions website. Additionally, community recruitment efforts are made on an ongoing basis via press releases, flyers and individual outreach. Members are appointed for two-year terms with half of the members’ terms expiring each year.
The Board of Supervisors is requested to appoint the following member. This appointment recommendation has been made to, and approved by, the County Superintendent of Schools:
Lara Magnusdottir, Community Child Care Council of Sonoma County, Discretionary Seat
The Board of Supervisors is requested to re-appoint the following members. These re-appointment recommendations have been made to and approved by the County Superintendent of Schools:
Lisa Bell, Sassarini Preschool / SVUSD, Child Care Provider Seat
