Operations committee notes Head Start baseline grant: $5.84 million for 26 classrooms
Summary
The committee received an abstract about the annual Head Start baseline grant totaling $5,837,376 that will support 26 classrooms, comprehensive services and 69 full‑time positions; the grant includes $56,225 for training and technical assistance.
The New Haven School District presented an abstract of its annual Head Start baseline grant, which totals $5,837,376 and would fund comprehensive services for 26 classrooms and support 69 full‑time positions.
The presenter said roughly $5.78 million is budgeted for operations and $56,225 is earmarked for training and technical assistance. The grant represents the first full year after a competitive award; because approval would occur late in the current year, staff said implementation would mainly occur in the upcoming school year. Committee members had no substantive questions and the item was placed on the docket to move forward to the full board.
Why it matters: Head Start funding pays for classroom operations and staffing that serve preschool‑age children in low‑income families. The grant amount and the number of classrooms and positions were provided to the committee for approval to submit the application and accept the baseline award if approved.
