The Head Start Act requires that
actual population and services data be collected from Head Start
and Early Head Start grantees and delegate agencies. PIR is the
primary tool for collecting data in the areas of program
management, services provided to children, and demographic data
about enrolled children and their families. The principle users of
the data include local program management, ACF Regional stall, and
ACYF Central staff. The data is disseminated widely to other
interested parties, including Congress, policy makers at the State
level, Training and Tech Assistance providers, and
researchers.
Enrollment reporting in the
past was included in the annual survey as narrative text and is now
split out to more accurately reflect the monthly frequency.
Occasional reporting was added to facilitate electronic
communications with key staff; to keep current information on
center locations; and to increase management oversight and
potential intervention when certain conditions occur that would
impact the grantee's ability to provide high quality services. The
change in estimated burden hours is increased from 10,760 to
12,393.
