Off ice o f the President May 19, 1977

T 0: Dr. J a m e s A. F ros t , Chief Executive Officer Board of Trus tees fo r the State Colleges

FROM: F. Don J a m e s , President

This i s to request the approval by the Board of Trus tees of the establish- ment of a Child Care P r o g r a m a t Central Connecticut State College and fees to be charged for supporting this program. Attached is a recom- mended resolution regarding this. I would presume that this resolution would need the approval of both the Planning and Budget Committees of the Board before going to the full Board.

This proposal has been under study for seve ra l years a t Central and would se rve a s a valuable experience fo r students in our Professional Education programs and a lso a valuable serv ice to full- and part- t ime adult students who need such child c a r e serv ices a s they pursue their academic c a r e e r a t Central .

The proposed resolution explains briefly the purpose of this child c a r e pro- g r a m and the fees that would have to be established to support it. Fu r the r background information can be summarized a s follows:

1. Maximum enrollment per s e m e s t e r - 50 children 2. Hours of operation - - 7:45 a. m. - 7:00 p. m . (1 1/2 hours for lunch) 3. Tuition fee charge breakdown to $1.00 per day o r $ .50 pe r hour 4. Students will be given two ( 2 ) hours per day of instruction, five days

per week 5. W. J a m e s Rice, Commissioner , Department of Community Affairs,

has been notified by Dr. Dethy, of our intention to begin develop- ment of a Child Care Center.

6. Appropriate inquiries have been made relative to our ability to have such a program in the F ranc i s Street School.

7. Dr. Dethy's budget plan fo r expenditures i s attached.

We would, of course , be glad to provide any fur ther information that should be needed for discussion on this recommendation.

Off ice of the President

TO:

July 6, 1977

Dr. James A. Frost , Executive Director Board of Trustees for the State Colleges

FROM: F. Don James, President

Attached i s a revised copy of the resolution regarding the establishment of a Child Care Program at Central. You will note that i t states "general public" in paragraph four, which I believe was a point you and Arnold were concerned about.

This morning I asked Joe Pikiell to meet with Arnold and they reviewed the proposal again. I believe questions were resolved in this meeting. It i s not possible for the fee to be pro-rated for less than five days a week because groups of 15 children will be taken f m m two-hour blocks, and continuity i s not possible for part-time students' children.

I would appreciate having this resolution come before the Board a t i ts next meeting so the program may be implemented in September.
