The recent notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and Office of Head Start, Reducing Federal Burden for Head Start Programs, proposes to rescind and replace the entirety of the Head Start Program Performance Standards (HSPPS). Through listening sessions and consultations, CAAs with Head Start programs have consistently identified five areas of concern if the NPRM is finalized as is: administrative costs, staffing ratios and group sizes, staff qualifications and professional development, health and nutrition services, and children with disabilities. To help CAAs navigate what compliance in these areas could look like, CAPLAW has compiled a brief comparison of the proposed HSPPS with the current HSPPS and the Act. Also included are some questions for CAAs to consider when drafting public comments they may submit.
