Why would Head Start allow schools to keep furnishings that were purchased with funds to support Head Start? Every single item needs to be accounted for and returned.

If the funding was misused or fraud was involved this would make sense, but that's not the case. The schools are no longer eligible for additional funding, but are entitled to keep the furniture and materials purchased during the period of eligibility.

Not exactly, Head Start will want all of its materials returned. The items will be sent to other sites supporting Head Start.

Again - can you please share the guidance, instructional manual etc which lays out what happens on the ground when a site is no longer offering Head Start?

If it is a net reduction in the number of sites, what are they going to do with the duplicate stuff?

It would be used by other PK 3-4 students. In DC head start partially pays for ECE. It is augmented by DCPS funds.

I think some charters also get Head Start funding. In othe communities it goes to nonprofit orgs.

Not true. They will not get additional funding, but the vast majority of items will not be required to be returned because they are past their audited shelf-life (which is very short relative to actual use). The PP who I suspect has posted 50% of the "oh my god the world is going to end" stuff in this thread w/ random allegedly insider knowledge is trolling everyone.

What about tyler?

I see this situation going in one of four ways. First, the best outcome would be DCPS being awarded their full grant amount again. The next possible outcome would be DCPS only receiving a portion of the grant. The next possible outcome would be DCPS losing the entire grant. The final outcome would be OSSE being awarded the grant.

Tyler will most likely be out as a Head Start programming site.

Most of the schools in wards 1, 2, and 6 probably will not have Head Start next year. The only school in ward 1 that will have it is Tubman ES.

Tyler is more gentrified than several of the nearby schools the know-it-all poster have said are definitely out (Miner; Payne).

Ludlow Taylor
Van Ness

Payne
Thomson
Garrison
Marie Reed
Bancroft

Wow, Garrison and Payne?! They seem like nowhere near as gentrified as the others.

Does this mean less preschool seats, or just loss of services?

What’s your definition of gentrified? Are you just looking at race or assuming someone’s income based on race?

Waiting for someone to answer....

There are no poor white people in the city, so whiter typically means more gentrified.

That isn't entirely true. They are just often older and have been here for a long time. Many of DC's low income people are being pushed out of the city. But so are the lower-middle and middle class families.

DC Government made a promise to continue to fund Prk programs in the city even after head start. However, it does not look like they have been preparing funds or even making a budget that includes any of the Prk programs in the future.
Taxes will need to go up to fund them which will make people mad but, this same people will leave if they don't get their free Prk.

There are basically no poor white people in the city. Certainly there are vanishingly few white people young enough to have ES kids, so I standby my original statement that race is a reasonably proxy for gentrification in DC specifically.

This perspective assumes that all black families are low-income, which is also not true.

Where do poor or lower income whites live in DC? Not joking, just really curious.
