Dear College Letter Continued

“Local Head Start programs are required to complete or obtain a current developmental screening to identify any concerns regarding a child’s developmental skills within 45 calendar days of when the child first attends the program to identify children who may need further evaluation. With parental consent, Head Start personnel are then required to make a referral to the LEA. 45 C.F.R § 1302.33(a)(1).”
