Oregon Continues Oregon Head Start Pre-K Program Expansion
SALEM – State Schools Superintendent Susan Castillo announced today that the Oregon legislature’s Emergency Board has approved $25 million in expansion funding for Oregon Head Start Prekindergarten (OHS PreK). Today’s funding will continue last year’s expansion efforts and add 1336 enrollment slots in the 2008-2009 program year. Funding for this second round of expansion was based on a competitive grant application process. Programs receiving funding to serve additional children include:

Job Opportunities

I am currently networking to find highly qualified Infant/Toddler Specialists in Region X and 7 other National Head Start Regions. As I am on the East Coast, my network is limited and I'm just looking to get the word out there. The opportunity has many benefits to include an extremly competitive salary, an opportunity to work from home, and better yet, to really make a differenct in the Head Start Program to ensure the needs of our children are being met. Please contact me with any questions and let's get the word out!
