This NPRM proposes new and enhanced changes to the Head Start Program Performance Standards (HSPPS) in three main areas: workforce supports, mental health, and other quality improvements.

OHS is soliciting feedback on these proposed changes and will use comments submitted by the public in making decisions for the final rule. The publication opens a 60-day public comment period.

The Office of Head Start (OHS) has a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) in the Federal Register, Supporting the Head Start Workforce and Consistent Quality Programming.
