Bill overview
This bill, the Jumpstart for Head Start Act of 2020, provides an additional $1.7 billion in emergency funding to Head Start programs for the fiscal year 2021. The funding is distributed based on the number of children enrolled in each Head Start agency, aiming to support these programs during the COVID-19 pandemic. Importantly, the bill includes provisions to prevent this supplemental funding from being used to adjust future base grant calculations and avoids standard allocation requirements. This ensures the funds are specifically targeted to address immediate needs.
