While the governing body is responsible for the legal and fiscal matters of a Head Start agency, the policy council is legally charged with responsibility for the direction of the Head Start program.  In this webinar we unpack these critical oversight compliance responsibilities in terms of respective authorities, best practices and appropriate decision-making strategies.

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.
