Policy Council
Another way families can be involved in Head Start/Early Head Start is to participate in Policy Council. Policy Council is the group of parents and community members who meet monthly to participate in decision-making and Head Start/Early Head Start program design, implementation, and operation. Representatives are elected from all Head Start program options including our Collaborative Center and Early Head Start Center-based programs. Parents are elected to this exciting and rewarding position. We ask that the following documents are shared with families at the beginning of each program year (September). Please note that while the the "Policy Council Rep Information" form below is the same for all families, the "Policy Council - An Important Role" is differentiated for each program option.
