Referred to the House Committee on Education and the Workforce.
The Head Start Accountability Act of 2024 requires the Inspector General of the Department of Health and Human Services to investigate Head Start facilities that do not submit their required annual audits. Head Start is a federal program that provides early childhood education and development services to low-income children and families. This bill targets Head Start facilities that fail to comply with existing audit requirements, aiming to ensure greater accountability and oversight of how the program operates. The investigations would begin in 2024 and would apply to any facility found to be non-compliant with audit submission rules. The legislation does not establish new funding or specific timelines beyond requiring investigations to start in 2024.
