Calaveras Strategic Plan Annual Review (2004)

Proposition 10 requires that each county commission create and adopt a strategic plan for the support and improvement of early childhood development within the county. This plan must be reviewed by the Commission on at least an annual basis to revise the plan “as may be necessary or appropriate.”

The current (2000-2003) Calaveras County Children and Families Commission Strategic Plan was adopted on September 15, 2000 after a lengthy process of assessment and input, including a community survey, focus groups, a forum, Board of Supervisors review, and a public hearing. The plan was purposefully developed with many varied strategies as possibilities for the utilization of Proposition 10 monies. This was done in order to provide maximum flexibility for the first funding process, as well as to allow broad participation, creativity and best utilization of community assets. The current plan was reviewed in 2001, and the revised version was adopted on December 14, 2001.
