Background:
|
The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) requires the review, feedback and approval of the MPS Head Start federal grant application by both the Head Start Policy Council and the Board of School Directors. The Head Start federal grant application was opened in January, 2018 with a due date of March 1, 2018.
Parent/community representatives from the Head Start Policy Council participated in the writing of the goals for the MPS Head Start program included in the grant application. The MPS Head Start federal grant application was presented to and approved by the Head Start Policy Council on February 21, 2018.
This application for the Head Start federal grant is written to reflect a continuation of the 1,370 federally funded Head Start seats at 26 sites. |
