Head Start Program

The Administration on Children, Youth and Families is issuing this Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to amend the requirements on eligibility, recruitment, selection, enrollment and attendance in Head Start, in six areas affecting Head Start programs which are serving specific populations. The first and second proposed changes add a new definition for Indian Tribe and amend the definition of a migrant family to conform to a new statutory definition. The third change requires migrant programs to give priority to children from families that relocate most frequently. The fourth and fifth proposed changes affect Head Start programs operated by Indian Tribes by expanding the definition of a Head Start service area to include near-reservation designations and by expanding the family income eligibility criteria for Indian grantees meeting specific conditions. The sixth change establishes the number of years children remain eligible for Head Start when they are enrolled in an Early Head Start program.
