The Policy Council serves as the link among public and private organizations, the Grantee, the communities served, and the parents of enrolled children. The Policy Council will comply with the existing Head Start Performance Standards requirements and the 2007 Head Start legislation. Any changes in the Head Start Performance Standards that will affect Policy Council bylaws will be brought to the Policy Council for explanation and approval.
Background:
The Policy Council By-laws must be approved by the Policy Council and the Commissioners' Court on an annual basis. No changes were made from the previous year.
