Background:
At its February 23, 2023, Full Board meeting, the Board approved the MPS FY23 Head Start Federal Continuation Grant Application. A Technical Amendment is needed for this item as the funded enrollment count incorrectly listed in the item agenda read 1,506 instead of the correct enrollment count of 1,291. The need for this Technical Amendment is to confirm that the enrollment count for the MPS FY23 Head Start Federal Continuation Grant Application is 1,291.

With corrected enrollment count of 1,291, the agenda item would read:
The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) requires the participation of the Milwaukee Public Schools Head Start Policy Council and Milwaukee Board of School Directors through the review, feedback, and approval of the MPS FY23 Head Start Federal Continuation Grant Application.

The funded enrollment for the federal MPS Head Start grant is 1,291. The federal grant is expected to be in the amount of $11,650,539.

The FY23 MPS Head Start Federal Continuation Grant Application is due March 1, 2023.
 
Fiscal Impact Statement:
Does not authorize expenditures.  
Implementation and Assessment Plan:
Upon Board Approval of the MPS FY23 Head Start Federal Continuation Grant Application, the Administration will submit the application to the Office of Head Start.  
Recommendation
The Administration recommends that the Board approve the Technical Amendment for submission of the MPS FY23 Head Start Federal Continuation Grant Application.
