  1. Use the Family Economic Mobility Toolkit to Help Families Achieve Economic Well-Being, What if you had a toolkit to enhance your ability to help families in your program progress toward their economic mobility goals? The new Family Economic Mobility Toolkit is designed to meet you wherever you are in your practice to partner with families on their road to economic mobility. ECLKC, Updated November 08, 2023

  2. State Board of Education Approved Amendments to Rules 6M-8.620 and 6M-8.621, Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.), State Board of Education Approved Amendments to Rules 6M-8.620 and 6M-8.621, Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.). On October 18, 2023, Florida’s State Board of Education approved revisions to Rules 6M-8.620 and 6M-8.621, F.A.C., regarding the Coordinated Screening and Progress Monitoring (CSPM) Program and Program Assessment. These rules are critical to implementing accountability requirements for contracted providers participating in Florida’s Voluntary Prekindergarten (V.P.K.) Program. They will take effect on November 20, 2023.

  3. Congress has to do something before Friday, or the government will shut down.  FHSA signed on to a letter with NHSA and all ten regional Head Start associations and 52 state and territorial Head Start associations–outlining the drastic negative impact that a $750 million cut would have. The best thing you can do is inform Congress about Head Start's importance in your community– get your staff, parents, policy council, and even your friends and neighbors to take action today! 

Please visit our WYNTK resource webpage, which is updated regularly, and the FHSA events list for more information. If there is something else you need guidance on, let us know - we will continue to work with state agencies and partners to answer your questions.  

Sincerely, 

Wanda Minick 
Executive Director
