(KLZA)-- The Falls City School Board received an update Monday night on Falls City being selected as one of a dozen selected to receive a contract for $78,500 for child care capacity building through the Nebraska Children and Families Foundation.
The funds were made available through the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations program with the money aimed at increasing high quality licensed child care availability in communities where there simply aren't enough spots for the children who need them.
Technical assistance for implementation and ongoing support will be provided by the Nebraska Children and Families Foundation's Communities for Kids initiative.
Community members interested in being part of the community effort and conversation should contact Early Childhood Community Coordinator, Susan Witt at switt@fallscityps.org.
Current child care providers in Falls City will be included
The School Board approved setting a budget work session for Monday, August 29 at 7:00 p.m. for the 2022-23 fiscal year.
