Why Attend

You asked, and we answered. Based on your feedback, we took our large-group training and built this online boot camp to blend regulations, best practices and action planning with the opportunity to ask your questions.

If you are new, if you have been around a while and want a refresher, if you are program oriented, if you are fiscal oriented — welcome. There will be something for everyone.

HS and EHS are some of the largest federally funded programs. The Head Start Act and the Head Start Program Performance Standards (HSPPS) contain pages and pages of guidelines that HS/EHS programs need to follow to stay in compliance. The goal is to help you get comfortable with what HS/EHS programs need to follow to stay in compliance.

Participants declare Wipfli training “empowering,” “outstanding,” “meaningful,” “invaluable” and “relevant.” Join us from the comfort of your location. Sign up today!

When you are implementing these regulations, there are numerous things to consider, including how decisions impact your program. In this boot camp, we will explore the Head Start Act and give you time to learn where to find information and dig into the details once you are back at the office. And since the Head Start Act goes hand-in-hand with the HSPPS, we will explore the highlights of all of the HSPPS (45 CFR Parts 1301-1305). And though this is not a two-day Uniform Guidance (UG) training, we will certainly highlight areas of the UG regulations (45 CFR Part 75) in the areas of allowable costs and procurement. 

The goal is to help you get comfortable with what HS/EHS programs need to follow to stay in compliance. We will pay special attention to the following areas: 

• Definitions (They sometimes differ depending on the regulation.)
• Administrative requirements (administrative limitations, spending of federal funds, nonfederal match [aka in-kind])
• Power and functions (governing body, policy council, policy committees, administrative reports)
• ERSEA (eligibility, recruitment, selection, enrollment, attendance)
• Records (what to keep, how to keep them and for how long)
• Qualifications and wages (background check, minimum staff requirements)

From running the program to working with the board and policy council to collaborating with the fiscal department, this boot camp will help you discover action items to take back to the program to help you get up to speed and make an impact.

Learning Objectives:

1. Explore how the Head Start Act and the HSPPS impact each other and your program.
2. Discuss how working with each department enhances the overall impact of the program.
3. Take away ideas, thoughts and best practices of ongoing leadership about these requirements.
