AI Summary

  • Core Issue: The Committee fell short of the 10% earmark requirement for children with disabilities in the Head Start program, achieving only 4.1% enrollment.
  • Impacted Requirements: This shortfall of 5.9% indicates potential noncompliance with program standards.
  • Recommended Follow-Up: The Committee should enhance recruitment efforts for eligible students and consider seeking a waiver if the requirement remains unmet.

Finding Text

In fiscal year 2021, the Committee did not attain its targeted earmark requirement percentage of 10% of all slots being occupied by children with disabilities for the Head Start program. Of the total students enrolled in the Head Start and Early Head Start programs, only 4.1% of the slots were filled by students with documented disabilities. This represents a shortfall in the targeted earmark requirement of 5.9%. We recommend that the Committee continue its efforts to recruit and enroll students meeting the targeted earmark requirements to help prevent material noncompliance with program requirements, and that the Committee obtain a waiver if the requirement is not met.
