Board asked for plan to relocate Head Start to F.L. Moffett Primary
Summary
Brandy Bennefield presented a proposal to incorporate a Head Start program at F.L. Moffett Primary; the board asked staff to return with a defined plan in May. The program could serve about 40 four-year-olds in two classes.
Chief Academic Officer Brandy Bennefield told the board Head Start currently operates at the old Center Elementary building, which has been deemed unsuitable for students. She said F.L. Moffett Primary has two rooms that could be used and that an incorporated program could serve roughly 40 four-year-old children in two classes; each class would require two adults (teacher and aide or two teachers). A Family Service worker would be a Head Start employee rather than district staff.
After discussion of space and staffing implications, the board requested more information and asked staff to present a defined plan at the May board meeting before making any commitment.
