HRD-81-83 1 (1981-07-23)

handle is hein.gao/gaobabcfa0001 and id is 1 raw text is: BY THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL Report To The Congress OF THE UNITED STATES Head Start: An Effective Program But The Fund Distribution Formula Needs Revision And Management Controls Need Improvement Funding for enrollment and operating costs in Head Start, the program providing compre- hensive services to economically disadvantaged preschool children and their families, has in- creased significantly since 1977. However, the increased enrollments envisioned by the Congress and the congressional mandate to maintain high program quality have not been sustained nationwide. To cope with fund- ing problems concerning these issues, the Con- gress should revise the method of distributing funds to assure that adequate increases are made available to grantees before enrollment expansion is authorized. This report also discusses Head Start's partially completed system of management control which should be strengthened. Improvements are needed in planning, the management in- formation system, program monitoring and Federal staffing, and administrative support. -j$D St142 H R D-81-83 1c'cou JULY 23, 1981 0/1 -7r3
