FINANCIAL IMPACT (Budgeted: Yes) | |
The total of $39,245,171.00 is federal/state funding originating with Florida Office of Early Learning (OEL) flowing through the ELCHC and passed to Hillsborough County Public Schools. The total funding includes $4,543,888.00 in operating costs for intake and eligibility, comprehensive consumer education, provider payment services, and training and coaching to providers; and $34,701,283.00 for direct child care costs. These funds will serve approximately 8,410 children at an annual average rate of $4,126.00 per child. | |
EVALUATION | |
Each year the financial statements are audited by the Hillsborough County School Readiness Coalition as prescribed by law. The funding for ELCHC is provided through federal dollars. The flow-through dollars are channeled by OEL. The School Readiness Program uses these funds to purchase child care in Hillsborough County. There is no district-generated revenue used for this purchase. | |
