Background: The Administration of Children and Families (ACF) requires the participation-through review, feedback, and approval-of the Milwaukee Public Schools Head Start Policy Council and Board of School Directors.

The Wisconsin Department for Public Instruction provides for state supplemental Head Start funds in the amount of $421,578 to operate the Head Start programs at Obama School of Technical and Career Education and at Richard Kluge Elementary School during 2018-19 school year. The proposed grant application reflects the current seat allocation and funding for the MPS Head Start program.

Fiscal Impact Statement: Does not authorize expenditures. The state grant is expected to be $421,578.
Implementation and Assessment Plan Upon Board approval, the Milwaukee Public Schools Head Start program will submit the state grant application in order to continue providing and expanding services to Head Start students.
