Salary Increases for Head Start Preschool Program and creation of the position of Lead Teacher(new
position).
Background:
The Head Start Preschool Program has been in operation at Delmann Heights Community Center for the past
thirty-one years. The school began with one class of 15 children and now has sixty children enrolled. The
program curriculum includes music, language arts, math, and science. A healthy meal is also provided for
each child.
The Mayor and Common Council approved the amendment to contract 05-689 with the County of San
Bernardino on December 17, 2007.
The Parks and Recreation department has been working with the County Preschool Services Department to
develop the new job classification of Lead Teacher (see attached). Final approval from the County of San
Bernardino was received in March 2008.
Per the agreement the following salary increases are requested, retroactive to July 1, 2007:
CURRENT PROPOSED
POSITION SALARY SALARY
Teacher Director Head-Start S 17.04 $ 19.00
Lead Teacher Head-Start New classifications $ 15.20

Teacher Aide Head-Start $ 9.91 $ 10.06
Custodian Head-Start $ 8.40 $ 8.53
Administrative Clerk $ 10.19 $ 11.84
The Human Resources Department reviewed and confirmed the budget information and recommends the
proposed salary increases.
Financial Impact:
The Head-Start program is federally funded and will not require a city match; therefore, there will be no
impact to the General Fund. The FY 2007-08 cost is estimated at $4,100.

1. Increase the salary for the position of Teacher Director Head-Start from $17.04 per hour to $19.00
effective 07/01/07.
