Hello Texas 21st CCLC family,

I would like to introduce myself as the new 21st CCLC State Coordinator. I come here from the Colorado Department of Education where I managed several federal grant programs and worked with the 21st CCLC program.

I have had an opportunity to meet with a few of you and have been welcomed by the warm spirit of this community. I look forward to getting to know each of you and working together to provide quality programs for the children of Texas.

Gina Salazar, State Coordinator
