Head Start Policy Council

MARC Head Start Logo

The MARC Head Start Policy Council consists of parents elected by each direct service provider and recommended community members. Policy Council members provide input on important decisions, represent the interests of families and the community, and approve financial expenditures and program plans. Members are trained in Head Start governance responsibilities, as well as fiscal and program policies and standards.

Subcommittees

MARC Head Start uses a subcommittee structure to engage Policy Council members in reviewing, planning, and presenting to the larger policy council on action items that are submitted for approval.
