Attachment 2: Summary Table on Perceived Barriers
ACYF-IM-HS-01-13
 

This attachment to ACYF-IM-HS-01-13 provides Head Start (HS) grantees, their delegates, and State Child Care programs with information about how budgeting can be significantly different in HS and child care programs. Program directors, financial managers and policy groups can use this resource to further their understanding of two major perceived barriers to collaboration and how those barriers can be overcome.


Attachment 2: Summary Table on Perceived Barriers

Perceived Barrier

Solution

Widely differing cost per child

Analyze real component costs
of program

Make full use of flexibility in
Head Start budgeting

Consider cost per child only as a check after developing budget

Cost allocation requirements

Make clear distinction between:
1) Arrangements in which all
children are Head Start-eligible
and all Performance Standards
are met; and

2) Any other arrangement

(Cost allocation required only in 2)
