Policy committee approves one‑time Head Start incentives, hears enrollment update
Summary
At a policy committee meeting May 19, staff reported Head Start graduations and a waitlist of 57 students and the committee approved a one‑time retention stipend (at least $600 for teachers) funded from the Head Start grant.
The policy committee met May 19 and heard a Head Start monthly update before approving a one‑time employee incentive for the 2025–26 school year.
A Head Start presenter told the committee that centers recently held graduations and that registration for next year is ongoing; the presenter reported a current waitlist of 57 students. The presenter described a requested, classification‑based retention stipend funded from leftover Head Start grant funds and said teachers would receive at least $600.
Committee members moved and seconded the request and approved it by voice vote. The presenter and committee emphasized that the stipend funding comes from the Head Start grant rather than the district's general fund.
The committee also handled a short procedural motion to join the meeting and confirmed the motion by voice vote.
