Wake Opportunities has <br /> received funding to increase all of its Head Start <br /> programs to five days per week. This will necessitate <br /> providing transportation for the additional day. <br /> The C.A.T. drivers assigned to the Head Start routes are <br /> permanent County employees who currently work 30 and 35 <br /> hours per week. Their hours would need to be increased to <br /> 34 and 39 hours respectively. Wake Opportunities would <br /> reimburse the County for the additional personnel and <br /> vehicle expense incurred in providing the fifth day of <br /> service. <br /> RECOMMENDATION(S) : <br /> The Manager recommends approval and Chair to sign C.A.T. <br /> Agreement Addendum with Wake Opportunities, Inc. to <br /> increase Head Start transportation to five days per week. <br />
