2012 CBT- Oakland Community College Child Care Assessment

Abstract

College Brain Trust (CBT) is operating under contract with Oakland Community College (OCC) to provide consulting services to “strengthen college operations and organizational, academic and financial structures in order to improve student success.” CBT consultant, Sheryl Gessford, has been contracted to investigate the operation of OCC Child Care Services and to provide options that would decrease the financial liability for the College. The review and assessment of OCC Child Care Services led to a list of recommended options that will assist OCC administrators in making informed, data-driven decisions regarding both the operational and financial status of child care in the district. The suggestions encompass a variety of improvements in organization, operation, collaboration and communication.
