A number of Head Start programs in the suburbs of Boulder and the Denver, Colo., will be receiving almost $700,000 from federal stimulus funds. The money will help the agencies with cost-of-living increases and also improve the overall quality of the programs, including (possibly) transportation.
A provision of the Head Start stimulus will provide $350 million for quality improvements. This includes funding for staff training, according to an Office of Head Start program instruction from April. Some programs have used this portion of their intended funding to send staff to national conferences like the National Head Start Association this past April and the upcoming STN EXPO in Reno.
How are you planning to spend your stimulus dollars? Comment below.
