Summary
The board accepted the Head Start February 2026 financial report and received a March program report detailing funded enrollment (137), current Head Start and Early Head Start enrollments (104 and 32), expenditures near budget targets, and upcoming program events and health/safety notes.
The Scott County School Board approved the Head Start Financial Report for February 2026 and received the March Head Start Director’s Report during its April 7 meeting. The financial materials submitted to the board show federal grant awards and budget detail; the packet lists total federal funding and program totals for Head Start and Early Head Start and documents year‑to‑date expenditures and budget variances.
According to the program materials presented, funded enrollment is 137 slots (Head Start 105; Early Head Start 32). Current enrollment was reported as Head Start 104 and Early Head Start 32; overall attendance across centers was summarized at about 84%. The financial packet shows February expenditures of $233,721.10 and notes the grant budget status with expenditures at roughly 97.6% of the period budget (a reported 2.43% underbudget variance through the period reviewed). The materials also list grant totals and anticipated carryover requests pending approval.
Program health and safety notes in the director’s report included completed screenings (hearing, vision, dental) and a maintenance item: playground surfacing repairs needed at Weber City Early Head Start. Education and monitoring notes reference upcoming CLASS observations and assessment periods (VKRP and VALLS screenings, COR assessments) and calendar items including spring break and program workshops and field trips in April.
The board approved the financial report on a motion by Rob Hood, seconded by Vice Chair Steve Sallee. No members recorded objections to the Head Start financial report in the minutes. The board placed the director’s report into the record with no follow‑up motions recorded at the meeting; additional detailed appendices in the packet provide P&L statements, reconciliation details, and a reconciliation summary for Head Start credit card activity.
