Forward(Recorded Webinar) Prior Approvals, Waiver Requests and Other Dealings: How to Best Interact with the Office of Head Start
Things don’t always go as initially planned. After the grant application has been approved, grant recipients often need to make modifications to manage the ever-changing circumstances. Whether you need to adjust the budget, tweak your program design, or have new leadership, you may need to seek prior approval from the Office of Head Start to permissibly make certain changes. Similarly, Head Start programs must think ahead for requests for waivers and slot conversions or reductions.
During this webinar Feldesman attorneys will discuss when the prior approval requirements under the Uniform Guidance and the Head Start Program Performance Standards apply. We will also talk about strategies to communicate best with the Office of Head Start to obtain favorable and timely results.
Please note: This webinar is offered as a complimentary product to all Head Start Training Package holders. For more information on our Head Start Training Package, click here or contact us.
