Hartnell trustees to consider changes to child care center

Hartnell trustees will consider Tuesday whether to approve proposed changes to the operation of its child development center at the Alisal campus.

College administrators say the child development center operates at a $200,000 loss per year and they want to find a way to stem those losses.

A proposal put forth by a contractor would outsource operations of the Alisal center to an outside operator, who would take over the site in July. The existing site operator, a college employee, would be laid off along with some teachers.

The meeting begins at 5 p.m. Tuesday at the CALL building of Hartnell, 411 Central Ave., Salinas.
