Still locked out of federal funding, several Head Start preschools may need to close temporarily
Leaders of dozens of Head Start preschools said they might need to close temporarily because they remain locked out of their federal funding, a problem that first surfaced last week during President Donald Trump’s aborted effort to freeze federal grants.
Although the Trump administration appeared to walk back its plan to withhold federal funding, projects across Washington state are not receiving money.
Former Washington Commanders head coach Ron Rivera announced on X he was joining his alma mater, Cal, in an unspecified role.
Head Start has been something of a sacred cow in Washington since its creation in 1965. The $12.3 billion federal program provides pre-school services to nearly 790,000 low-income children each year.
