Sign On to Keep Head Start Strong

posted 4/18/24 -- The National Head Start Association (NHSA) has issued a call to action for all Head Start families past and present.

NHSA wants the Office of Head Start to amend the rule changes it proposed last November.

“To be direct, the changes the rule proposes threaten the existence of Head Start in many communities and must be reconsidered,” said NHSA Executive Director Yasmina Vinci. “Our goal is to get more than 50 thousand Head Start parents and caregivers to sign the open letter.”

As Head Start celebrates its 59th Anniversary on May 18, NHSA plans to present their position with supporting signatures. The letter asks the administration to prioritize maintaining the deep and lasting impact of Head Start.

The deadline to sign on is May 12. Click here to read and sign the letter if you believe Head Start Works!
