FISCAL IMPACT:
None
BACKGROUND:
Head Start Performance Standard 1305.3 (c) (6) mandates that the Head Start grantee set criteria, based on a community assessment, that defines the types of children and families who will be given Head Start priority for recruitment and selection. This board order accepts the Employment and Human Services Department (EHSD), Community Services Bureau (CSB) Selection Criteria and Recruitment Plan for the 2017-18 program year. Due to the community need for full-day, full-year services, and the mandate that Head Start & Early Head Start programs collaborate for full-day services, EHSD CSB has adopted selection criteria, organized by priorities, which meet the State Department of Education regulations. The plan is set forth in the 2017-18 CSB Admissions Priorities / Selection Criteria .
