[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The principal at my school informed us that we were on the list of schools that definitely will not be receiving Head Start next. [/quote]

So then what happens?[/quote]

The number of ECE classes will remain the same at this time. However, we will be losing all of our centrally funded support for things like instructional coaching, family support, and classroom materials. [/quote]

Not good news but not unexpected.  I’m sure your school is not the only one to lose Head Start.

Honestly, it’s a shame for the lower income kids who really benefit the most from a high quality ECE. The city really should give preference to low income families all available ECE seats in the city.  [/quote]

My principal said all of the Title I schools were placed in three categories; those that will remain Head Start, those that will most likely experience a shift from Head Start to non- Head Start, and those that will definitely be non-Head Start.[/quote]

Tells me nothing about the middle category.  That’s all they said and no one questioned what the middle category was?  With no details, either you qualify for head start or not.  Trust me the feds will be pretty clear black and white.[/quote]

Head Start just issues the grant award, but DCPS is solely responsible for determining which schools will have Head Start. DCPS looked at the numbers of Head Start eligible children at each school and grouped the schools according to that. A community needs assessment was also conducted to determine where the program actually makes sense.[/quote]
