(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.

      (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.
