what is policy council?

The Policy Council is a group of Head Start parents and community members who help lead and make decisions about the program. Policy Council members are elected by the parents of children enrolled in the program.  

You are the most important teacher in your child's life. We value your ideas about how to best serve all the children in the program. Policy Council meets monthly on Tuesday evenings via Zoom and gives you the opportunity to be a voice for decision-making in our program. You will get to vote on various program components such as budgets, staffing, policies, and procedures. 

Policy Council cannot happen without you!! Your commitment and dedication to Berkshire County Head Start will improve your child’s preschool experience and your engagement will ensure that our Head Start program runs smoothly.
