Civil Rights Leaders - Activist - Bullied and Mobbed
Exclusion of partners who "actually" serve the community with the greatest need.

Co-chair "They'll be nothing left if we use the money for the poorest communities"
  • The board chairperson has been a local civil rights advocate including her role as the person who taught Cesar Chavez how to organize the farm workers for the march to the state capital.  
    • Political opposition from those in power
  • The executive director has been consistently accused and cleared of any wrong doing in many attempts to discredit him, causing harm to his reputation and attempting to takeover the agency. 
    • He's operated the organization under the same tax payer identification for the 30+ years of his ED role. 
    • He's consistently earned a 1.2-3% error rate with the state compliance audits. 
    • 30 million of a 90 million county wide budget allocation from federal and state dollars are awarded to the agency. 
      • Subsidized payments for early care for children of parents who are looking for work, attending training or working in low wage jobs. 
        • Paid directly to the providers
          • Licensed
          • Non-Licensed
    • The majority of the low income families recognize the agency while they are unlikely to travel beyond the 5 mile radius of their homes and never to wealthy neighborhoods.
      • The majority of other programs are most often in the wealthy neighborhoods where little to no pockets of poverty exist. 
        • In one year, the same year 4C's 30 million was accounted for in an unofficial assessment based on board approved budget and minutes with parent registrations and attendence, etc. 
        • In the same year 60 million remaining from a 90 million countywide budget, was recorded to increase new child care openings for a total of 11 new openings. 
        • The same locations were recorded with new improvements and upgrades
        • The community college where both co-chairs were faculty, recieved 5 million. 
        • The local research agency run by the former LPC chair and opponent of the 4c agency, replicates the work of resource and referral agency in far more demand than the population.  Not the system of record.  Leverages a partnership with WestEd. 
    • Local planning co-chairs "We will never work with 4C's, as long as the executive director x is there"
      • Unethical response and action as co-chair the role should lead by example; all funding for the LPC included a CFR with inclusion of all stakeholders in planning
        • Supplant rather than supplement current programs
      • Hostile environment for early care delivery system
        • As a parent representative I wanted to understand the exclusion of the agency, the conflict of interest and obvious lack of understanding about the federal regulations and target audience for funding. 
          • Stakeholders on the council are grant recipients
            • The agencies they represent are not within the travel zone of the population prioritized for the funding.
            • The priority was ignored due to state laws which allowed local decisions in conflict with the federal funding. 
            • The local leaders continued to disregard the federal laws in their actions.
            • State technical assistance confirmed the funding guidance for the leaders.
            • The co-chairs communicated in conflict with the state contacts direction.
            • A second meeting was requested to clarify the terms and our councils expected actions. 
          • Parent participation is a perception
          • In attempting to hold the leaders accountable, the legal team for the county office of education was quickly doing what they could to remove me from the council.  
          • altered by grant recipients who are parents and providers
            • Duplicate rather than supplemental  programs
              • Spend a great deal of money to recreate the services offered by the agency, in order to alter the demand and supply or justify the location and allocation of budget outside the target areas. 
              • Duplicates the counties demand without inclusion of the system of record.
