All parents who have children enrolled in Head Start are automatically members of the Head Start Center Committee. The purpose of the Center Committee is to share information with the parents via reports by the director, teacher, parent support coordinator, education coordinator and the health coordinator. Parents are to use this time to discuss and give input into educational activities/curriculum planning and menu planning. Parents also use this time to arrange projects and plan activities to help their children and families.
The committee elects officers; a chairperson, secretary and treasurer. The chairperson runs the meeting, the secretary records the minutes, and the treasurer reports on the status of parent monies.
