BACKGROUND
Gaston County Cooperative Extension has been selected by the Partnership for Children of Lincoln and Gaston Counties as the provider for the Triple P Parent Education Program for the fiscal year July 1, 2016 - June 30, 2017. This Board Action increases the FY17 grant by $14,569, from $43,706 to bring the full allocation of the grant to $58,275, for the purpose of conducting Extension’s VIP Parenting Education Program. The County is reimbursed 100% through this grant. No County funds are used for this program.
The goal of the VIP program is to educate parents about child development, discipline skills and child nutrition and health issues. By learning these skills, participants may place less demand on other county services such as health, social service, and public safety.
