| 2016-19748 | Head Start Performance Standards | Rule | This final rule modernizes the Head Start Program Performance Standards, last revised in 1998. In the Improving Head Start for School Readiness Act of 2007, Congress instructed the Office of Head Start to update its performance standards and to ensure any such revisions to the standards do not eliminate or reduce quality, scope, or types of health, educational, parental involvement, nutritional, social, or other services programs provide. This rule responds to public comment, incorporates extensive findings from research and from consultation with experts, reflects best practices, lessons from program input and innovation, integrates recommendations from the Secretary's Advisory Committee Final Report on Head Start Research and Evaluation, and reflects the Obama Administration's deep commitment to improve the school readiness of young children. These performance standards will improve program quality, reduce burden on programs, and improve regulatory clarity and transparency. They provide a clear road map for current and prospective grantees to support high-quality Head Start services and to strengthen the outcomes of the children and families Head Start serves. | 2016-09-06 | 2016 | 9 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2016/09/06/2016-19748/head-start-performance-standards | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2016-09-06/pdf/2016-19748.pdf | Health and Human Services Department; Children and Families Administration | 221,49 | This final rule modernizes the Head Start Program Performance Standards, last revised in 1998.
