Effingham, IL-(Effingham Radio)- The Childcare Research Committee heard an update from CEFS that they were unsuccessful in hiring a Site Director. The deadline was July 1st for grant funding from the state. As a result, CEFS had to cancel their new planned program.
CEFS also reported they haven’t been able to get anyone hired as teachers either. Connie Jerden with CEFS reported the program has been cancelled at this point, with the hope being that CEFS gets more staff and then apply for the grant again later.
The Committee also heard that Hillary Beard has been approved through the Childcare program by the County Board, and the Committee tabled another application pending more information.
The next Childcare Research Committee meeting will be August 12th at noon in the Effingham Public Library.
