About the Shasta Commission
The Shasta Commission consists of seven members appointed by the Shasta County Board of Supervisors in accordance with County Ordinance adopted in March 1999. Commission membership can be composed from the following: one member from the Board of Supervisors; the County Health Officer or his/her designee; the Director of Social Services or his/her designee; the Director of Mental Health Service or his/her designee; and three members representing community-based organizations, early childhood educators, local child care resources, prevention/early intervention programs for families at risk, medical associations, local school districts, or project services included in the Commission's Strategic Plan.
Our History
The Shasta Children and Families First Commission was formed
in March 1999 in response to the statewide passage of the Children and Families
Act, Proposition 10. This initiative aims to promote, support and improve the
development of all children from the prenatal period to five years of age. Through
a tax placed on the sale of tobacco products, the initiative will raise
approximately $700 million per year for early childhood development activities. Shasta
County stands to receive approximately $1.8 million each year for these purposes.
