Discussion and possible action to exempt the Head Start and Early Head Start program from the Webb County Policy which limits new employees to begin employment on the first day of a pay period.
Issue: The Webb County policy which mandates new employees to begin employment on the first day of a pay period creates a hardship for the Head Start and Early Head Start program in meeting staffing patterns (state mandated staff - child ratios).
Solution: Grant the Head Start and Early Head Start program an exemption to this policy.
Result: The Head Start and Early Head Start program will not suffer a hardship in meeting state and federal mandates for staffing patterns.
