This session is designed specifically for staff, policy council, parents and governing body members of Head Start/Early Head Start (HS/EHS) organizations. The Head Start requirements are like no others. You need to know what your role is to help keep your agency in compliance. Over the past few years, much more scrutiny has been placed on staff, policy council, parents and boards/tribal councils, and regulations and requirements are changing all the time. During this presentation and workshop, the audience will have the opportunity to hear information, share information, and work through scenarios to help them explore how to use the information back in their agencies.
1. Review how the governing structure is set up according to the Head Start Act and the Head Start Program Performance Standards.
2. Discuss the role requirements of staff, policy council, parent and board/tribal council members, and why the requirements exist.
3. Examine how these roles work together.
Wipfli has over five decades working in and with Head Start programs. Over the years we get questions about “why do we have to do this?” or “why is this a regulation?”. Join this session to ask your why (and maybe even how) questions. Hear what we are seeing as we offer regulations and leadership training/consulting across the country. Curious about the Uniform Guidance, we can talk. Interested in learning how the Head Start Act and Head Start Program Performance Standards work together, we can help. Having challenges in the world of constant change, finding and keeping great talent, building a culture of wellness, those topics are on the table too. If you have a question about the why, what, or even some suggested “how do we do X”, this is the session for you.
