| (a) A Board shall, as part of its Texas Workforce Development
Board Plan (Board plan), develop, amend, and modify the Board plan
to incorporate and coordinate the design and management of the delivery
of child care services with the delivery of other workforce employment,
job training, and educational services identified in Texas Government
Code, §2308.304, et seq. , as
well as other workforce training and services included in the One-Stop
Service Delivery Network.
(b) The goal of the Board plan is to coordinate workforce
training and services, to leverage private and public funds at the
local level, and to fully integrate child care services for low-income
families with the network of workforce training and services under
the administration of the Boards.
(c) Boards shall design and manage the Board plan to
maximize the delivery and availability of safe and stable child care
services that assist families seeking to become independent from,
or who are at risk of becoming dependent on, public assistance while
parents are either working or attending a job training or an educational
program.
(d) A Board shall include in the Board plan any strategies
to use contracted slots agreements, as described in §809.96 of
this chapter, including any local priorities and how contracted slots
agreements will help increase access to high-quality care for targeted
communities and population.
