BACKGROUND: The Department of Children Youth and Families (DCYF) Early Support for Infants and Toddlers (ESIT) Program is the State Lead Agency for early support services. Snohomish County, as a County Lead Agency (CLA), is responsible for the coordination of the local county ESIT system and management of state and federal Part C funds designated for children 0-3 years of age who have developmental delays and disabilities.
This new DCYF/ESIT contract (25-1218), covers the period of July 1, 2025 through July 31, 2026.The contract includes 0-3 State Special Education funding, state Education Legacy Trust Account (ELTA) funding, Federal Part C funding, including Equity in Access funding. This contract also includes CLA funding for enhanced training, planning, and support associated with implementation of the ESIT Statewide Monitoring System and technical assistance activities. SCC 4.26.025 authorizes approval in amounts up to $100,000 greater than the amount approved in the Grant Work Plan (GWP). Motion 24-378 approved the 2025 GWP. Because this Interlocal Agreement exceeds the amount in the GWP by more than $100,000, Council approval is required. Due to delayed receipt of this contract, expedited processing is requested to minimize further delays for our ESIT provider agencies.
