(Recorded Webinar) Head Start At the Bar

This course is closed to new enrollments.

Duration: 90 minutes
Webinar recorded on: 10/21/2020

Head Start is full of requirements and while each organization is different, the same rules apply to everyone. Between the Head Start Program Performance Standards, state regulations, and federal law requirements under the Uniform Guidance, it can be challenging to keep everything straight. In the era of the Designation Renewal System (DRS), getting it wrong can have significant negative consequences.

On this webinar, FTLF attorneys will discuss some of the major existing and emerging high-risk areas for Head Start programs. We will discuss the challenges you face every day in key topic areas every Head Start leader needs to understand, including:

  • ERSEA
  • Head Start Human Resources Requirements
  • Self-disclosures (including health and safety violations)

In addition to explaining the key compliance requirements of these topics, we will also describe realistic strategies to meet these standards, and discuss how to resolve common concerns your program may face. 

Whether you are brand new to Head Start leadership or need a refresher on recent changes to the rules, this overview will leave you feeling confident about your ability to understand key legal issues affecting Head Start programs and how to handle some of the murky areas of compliance.

Certificates of Attendance: We verify attendance upon completion of a webinar (live or recorded version) and will only issue certificates in the name of the account holder enrolled in the course. If you need to document attendance for someone other than the account holder, we provide blank Certificates of Attendance for a supervisor to sign and certify that a different individual viewed the course. 

Group Attendance: Due to the online nature of webinars, we cannot verify participation by more than one person. For groups, we provide an attendance record form and blank Certificates of Attendance to record attendance at a group viewing session and document each individual's participation. We recommend that a supervisor or colleague sign the certificate to certify attendance.
