Montebello Unified authorizes requests to carry over Head Start and Early Head Start funds
Summary
The board authorized submission of three carryover requests to the Office of Head Start totaling roughly $1.84 million across two Head Start years and Early Head Start; the requests will seek to move funds into the 2025–26 program year.
The Board authorized district administration on Nov. 19 to submit three requests to the federal Office of Head Start to carry over program funds into the 2025–2026 program year.
The minutes identify the amounts as: $645,283.00 from the 2023–2024 Head Start program (to carry into 2025–26), $981,848.27 from the 2024–2025 Head Start program, and $210,336.51 from the 2024–2025 Early Head Start program. The motions authorize the administration to submit the carryover applications; the minutes state the Board "authorizes the administration to submit a request" for each listed carryover amount.
Carryover requests like these allow the district to seek permission from the Office of Head Start to use unspent federal program funds in a later grant year. The minutes show the board authorized the submissions; they do not record decision on the federal approvals, which are subject to federal review and approval timelines.
