2 of 4 Updated 3/28/18

2) Overview of agenda – agenda attached

3) Welcome of parents Self-Assessment Committee welcomed three CCPC new SAC members:

• Norma González – Catholic Charities

• Ouida and Duke Murray – Henry Booth House

• CPPC is transitioning from Elaine Millsap-Parker to Tosha Smith

• CPPC is composed of 1 parent from each of the 34 delegate agencies

4) Action Plan - Quarter 2 Updates New updates have stalled due to Federal Review preparation Goal 1 – Create and implement a unified communications system that keeps all stakeholders, internal and external, updated on program information

▪ Communication plan is In Progress – materials and excerpts previously shared ▪ CSD Update was sporadic in the past, but has now been consistent – it’s sent

every Wednesday; Index and formatting has made newsletter easier to read ▪ CSD Insider – sent out monthly ▪ The Buzz – external newsletter has not been launched yet ▪ Federal Review Friday was initiated to create a system of information delivery

from CSD, and a platform for delegates to bring questions ▪ Moving contacts from Gmail to Constant Contacts will allow better management

of contacts and newsletter distribution ▪ Website

o DFSS is collaborating with Chicago Department of Innovation & Technology and Cristina Vera, consultant who designed “Ready to Learn”, to make website more user-friendly

o Goal is to have website ready by this summer Goal 2 – Develop policies and procedures that govern delegate-child care partner relations

• No further updates due to contract for consultant on hold

• Gena Ruther, consultant, created Partnership Framework

• Partnership Framework has good principles – feedback is to provide further guidelines/implementation manual for Grantee, Delegate, Partner – recommendation is to have room to allow individualization of partnerships

▪ Currently, Azucena from Gads Hill Center provides bi-monthly meetings for partners – what is a universal practice/info that can be shared with agencies and partners to communicate framework

▪ Possibly look for delegate partnership models

• Beth will look into timeline of delegate Partnership Framework Goal 3 – Ensure mental health services meet community needs

• Currently in progress and will move Mental Health Consultants to newly built Quality Unit

• Mental health: currently a pilot program is in place with three to four sites, that will receive intensive mental health consultations, as opposed to delegates that will continue to receive ten-hours from Mental Health Consultant

• Pilot is composed of private (Irving Foundation) and public entities – and will provide basic framework to increase mental health services, and look into how this model can change the system relating to mental health consultations

Page 3: To: Self-Assessment Committee Members CPPC Executive ... · servs, websites, social media platforms Communications Planning Team Sept 2017 C--Included in draft communications plan

3 of 4 Updated 3/28/18

• Chicago, Rockford, and Peoria are among the four cities participating in pilot program

• Parents, staff, and mental health consultants are included in the conversation

• DFSS is participating (SGA will be trained)

• Early Learning Council meeting – created a presentation regarding pilot?

• Want to ensure that DFSS is supplementing pilot and not overlapping it ▪ Support Service contract scope of services completed

o Action item was to change scope of SGA, track the impact of changed scope, and receive feedback – will need to think about how to proceed

▪ Might need to retool some of the objectives in Action Plan Goal 3

• Sharita will share information regarding this pilot program ▪ Pilot program information will be included in the grant application

Goal 4 – Implement activities, policies and procedures, and system-innovations that result in full enrollment

• Fully enrolled as of today – 3/14/18

• New ticket system being developed – launch is planned for April 30th

• Online application Project Manager departed DFSS March 2018

• Online application is mostly a secondary tool that CBO’s are utilizing given its difficulties ▪ Cumbersome for agencies set-up/understand ▪ When mistakes were made, difficult to correct ▪ Duplicates are a big issue – ticket must be submitted and takes time to solve

o Reached out to COPA tech to address this issue ▪ How to make online application work for CBO’s – topic for SA process ▪ Matrix is not useful/clear – CBO’s ignore this tool ▪ Clinics are needed

• Beth has 2:30pm call with COPA tech – SAC will provide feedback prior to call

• Application doesn’t have criteria or option for disabilities – recommendation by parent is to include a pre-screen for disability

• Online application needs to be user-friendly for parents ▪ If parents don’t have an email – how can they receive communication?

• Prior to departure, Project Manager completed analysis of online applications ▪ Look into ERSEA app

Goal 5 – Implement division-wide reorganized monitoring system

• Entrance visits have occurred with HS/EHS agencies

• After Federal Review, entrance visits will take place with PFA/PI agencies

• Part of the reorganization was to institute a team approach with ongoing consultative monitoring: entrance visits, and follow-up with post visit

• Some older tools are currently used with new team approach – site verification, unannounced classroom visits

▪ Record keeping is most prominent issue – e.g. finding records not aligned with COPA, signatures missing

o Looking at 100% children files o 100% HR – qualifications, background o 10% children files – for education, health histories o Family files – partnerships, family assessment

▪ Health and safety issues are also prominent o Looking at how to make classrooms safe

Page 4: To: Self-Assessment Committee Members CPPC Executive ... · servs, websites, social media platforms Communications Planning Team Sept 2017 C--Included in draft communications plan

4 of 4 Updated 3/28/18

o Nutrition – e.g. child and adult food program, food at correct temperature

o Allergies – post allergies in every classroom in a way that doesn’t violate HIPPA

o Ensuring emergency postings are up

5) Overview of Self-Assessment Timeline and Process

• Current Self-Assessment (2017-2018) Action Plan contains two goals that were carried over from 2016-2017 – goals are an ongoing process, and can be carried over to following year

• Current Self-Assessment timeline has new meeting dates and times – (9:30 AM – 12:00 PM) as follows:

▪ Week 1 (5/16): Education / Disabilities ▪ Week 2 (5/23): Health (Mental Health, Dental, Nutrition, Home Visit / FCE

(Health & Safety, Facilities) ▪ Week 3 (5/30): PDM – Planning Communications, Record & Reporting, HR,

Program Governance ▪ Week 4 (6/6): PDM – Fiscal, Consolidation, Delegate Partnership ▪ Week 5 (6/13): PDM – ERSEA, Online Application, Ongoing Monitoring ▪ Week 6 (6/20): Recommendations ▪ Week 7 (7/11) Action Plan recommendations

• Recommendation results will be included in 2019 Grant Application – due Sept. 1, 2019

• Once recommendations are made, will be shared with leadership for additions/edits, then brought back to Self-Assessment Committee for further analysis, review, and/or recommendations

• Look for 2016-2017 Self-Assessment notes to see requested data

• 2017-2018 Program Self-Assessment Narrative and Summary Tool was created for delegates – delegate Self-Assessment is due April 16th

▪ Possibly extend delegate Self-Assessment deadline a week ▪ Tool can be used to guide Grantee Self-Assessment

o Performance Area Study Guides can also be used ▪ May 16th – 1st meeting of Self-Assessment process

o Self-Assessment binder for committee members o Prior to the week’s topic, documentation/data will be sent for review

6) Next Steps

• Berenice will bring tent names for Self-Assessment meetings

• Berenice will resend Action Plan with clear key

• Sharita to share information regarding mental health pilot program

• Beth and Berenice will look into Project Manager’s analysis of online applications

• Berenice will provide CELS for present delegate members – members to email quantity

• Berenice will create Self-Assessment binders

• Solicit additional members from CCUO/Board
