Job Reporting Update for Head Start Grantees
Job reporting update for Head Start grantees receiving COLA increases under ARRA – November 18, 2009
Recent guidance from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services informs Head Start and Early Head Start grantees who receive Cost of Living Increases (COLA) under ARRA that the use of these funds will no longer be reported as jobs retained. An Office of Management and Budget (OMB) FAQ on reporting makes it clear that COLAs should not be counted as jobs retained.

Updated CAPLAW Bylaws Toolkit
CAPLAW’s recently updated Bylaws Toolkit is just what you need to make your organization’s bylaws clear, effective, and up-to-date.
The toolkit outlines key concepts for your agency’s bylaws, such as the authority of the Board of Directors, petitions for board representation, replacement of directors due to vacancies, quorum and voting policies, officers, conflicts of interest, and more. Updated information includes new sample language reflecting: the requirements of the 2007 Head Start Reauthorization, evolving governance best practices, and CAPLAW’s experience reviewing CAA bylaws over the last several years. The toolkit is available in hard-copy or in handy electronic form.
