(Recorded Webinar) Monitoring Lessons: What to Expect in FY27

This webinar is included in the Head Start Training Package.

Duration: 75 minutes
Recorded on: 10/21/2026

The FY2026 monitoring reviews are scheduled to begin in October 2026, though the protocols are not always released on time.  By popular demand, we will be walking through the Fiscal Year 2027 Head Start Monitoring Process for Head Start recipients, review protocols, lessons and changes from the FY2026 monitoring process, as well as supplemental requirements. Learn what’s still the same and what’s new under the FY2027 protocols, including how you should be thinking about reviews as they relate to ERSEA, Financial management, service delivery, health and safety incidents. 

Head Start monitoring results have major legal ramifications for your program. It has always been important to get things right.  With re-competition as the backdrop for providing high-quality services, compliance with program requirements is always critical. Whether you have been scheduled for review in FY2027 or not, this webinar series will help you be review-ready, by discussing the legal perspective on monitoring to help your program mitigate noncompliance risk and understand key monitoring review.

Certificates of Attendance: We verify attendance upon completion of a webinar (live or recorded version) and will only issue certificates in the name of the account holder enrolled in the course. If you need to document attendance for someone other than the account holder, we provide blank Certificates of Attendance for a supervisor to sign and certify that a different individual viewed the course. 

Group Attendance: Due to the online nature of webinars, we cannot verify participation by more than one person. For groups, we provide an attendance record form and blank Certificates of Attendance to record attendance at a group viewing session and document each individual's participation. We recommend that a supervisor or colleague sign the certificate to certify attendance.
