Background and Discussion: Harris County Department of Education is a public entity dedicated to helping meet the needs of uniquely challenged learners and school staff in the state’s largest county through innovative programming and support services. HCDE directly serves approximately 30,000 students with four alternative campuses, therapy services provided in local schools, 17 Head Start centers for early childhood education, after-school programming in dozens of community and school settings and the largest adult education program in Texas.

 

Expected Impact: Upon execution of this MOU, HCPL is able to provide out-of-school, including after school and summer time, services at branch locations; allowing residents to access employment opportunities they may not otherwise be able to enjoy.

 

Alternative Options: Families will not be able to access safe and reliable out-of-school programs for their children to participate in at the County’s libraries.
