NEON City Funding: • Past Practice, Current Financial • Past Practice Challenge & Position • Since the 1980’s NEON has received a single city contract providing funding for NEON, Inc., Administration, NEON Head Start, Building Overhead and RSVP . A separate contract covers NEON’s Summer camp. In past years the city did not define • Current Financial Challenge or communicate contractual expectations. NEON did not report progress or outcomes.

While these funds have been characterized as “Head Start,” – the dollars are allocated in the agency.* The sudden lack of City funds is likely to cause hourly reductions and lay offs affecting more than 80 staff. NEON’s Present Position NEON has changed past practice. We have evaluated all contracts, programs and projects that are not connected to funding. We have eliminated individuals and expenses from the Head Start budget that were not related to the program or were improperly charged to Head Start. We are also evaluating systems and have implemented procedures to insure that the problems identified cannot be repe $306,957 He a d Sta rt Only $630,918 All Child De ve lopm e nt Progra m s (including He a d Sta rt) $389,500 Across the e ntire Age ncy 16
