It is one of the great successes of our government. That is documented. LI 1300 Now. this bill is not perfect. but it makes some positive changes. I am pleased that the bill avoids the proposed use of State block grants. It improves the academic content and requirements. It requires coordination between Head Start and Staterun kindergarten programs. It improves the prospect for children of migrant and seasonal workers. of service men and women. of Native Americans. The legislation strengthens accountability. We still have a long way to go to give all eligible children the benefits of Head Start. but basically this is a good bill.
