Level: Basic
Prerequisite: None
Field of Study: Specialized Knowledge 
CPE*: 1.5 credits

Description

This session is designed specifically for board members of Head Start/Early Head Start (HS/EHS) organizations. The HS requirements for boards are like no others. Program and board members need to know their role, so their agency doesn’t get into trouble. Over the past few years, much more scrutiny has been placed on boards, and too many members are not fully aware. This is a must-attend session for any board member of an HS/EHS grantee.

Learning Objectives:

1. Review how the governing body is set up according to the Head Start Act and the Head Start Program Performance Standards.
2. Discuss the requirements of parents, staff, the policy council, and board members and why the requirements exist.
3. Examine how these roles work together.
