Head Start Policy Council

Organizational Leadership

Policy Council is a parent’s way to get involved in the governance of the 4C Head Start program. Parents/guardians have a voice in major program decisions, including such things as recruitment and selection policies, personnel policies, budgets, and funding proposals.

Every classroom elects a parent/guardian as a policy council representative and an alternate substitute representative. Meetings are held on the third Wednesday of each month on the TEAMS platform, starting at 6 p.m.
