Join the Head Start Policy Council

We are looking for a new member of our Head Start Policy Council to fill a vacancy. Serving on Policy Council is a great way to learn more about how our Head Start program and all of the programs at The Center operate.

Policy Council is the governing body of the Head Start Program and acts as the parents’ voice in making major decisions for the program. Together with the school board and program staff, the Policy Council is part of the shared governance of this preschool program.

Policy Council is comprised of parents and guardians of currently enrolled children and representatives of our community as the voting members. The required composition and function of the Policy Council is outlined in section 1304.50 of the Head Start Performance Standards concerning Program Governance.

Meeting dates and minutes for Policy Council meetings are published in the monthly newsletter.

For more information on Policy Council, including how you can be involved, please see Lisa Roeder in the Family Resource Office, call her at 719-486-6928, or email her at lroeder@lakecountyschools.net.
