Concilio De
Las Politcas
Parents can have a
voice in the Head Start/Early Head Start Program
by being a representative of the Policy Council.
Every program and classroom has a representative
Community partners and program staff also are part
of the Policy Council.
Policy Council is a
decision-making group that gives parents a
meaningful role in deciding the direction of the
program. They approve or disapprove many of the
Head Start decisions such as program plans,
budgets and staff. The Policy Council meets
monthly. There are also sub-committees including
education, activities, male involvement and self
assessment. Committees are a great way to make a
difference.
Past parents on the
Policy Council reported that they developed skills
they used later to gain better employment and
increased self esteem. They also said they were
now more involved in their child's education and
more comfortable in their children's schools.
