CLASP and NWLC Submit Public Comment Opposing Head Start Proposal to Rollback Performance Standards
CLASP and the National Women’s Law Center submitted a public comment opposing the Department of Health and Human Services’ proposed Head Start rule that would destabilize the program by overhauling the regulations that underpin Head Start’s effective, high-quality, wraparound services model. On top of eliminating approximately 90 percent of the performance standards that make Head Start strong, the rule introduces an English-only instruction requirement that would harm immigrant families, dual language learners, and Head Start staff.
