Program Governance

Описание: Governance isn't symbolic- it's structural. It is the system that holds. every part of a Head Start Program together.
When governance is strong, programs are protected. But when oversight breaks down, programs are held accountable at the highest level - regardlesss of good intentions or past success.
Many governance findings don't happen because leaders don't care. They happen because roles aren't fully understood, approvals aren't properly documented, or shared decision-making isn't clearly aligned with the Head Start Performance Standards. And when reviewers identify those gaps, they don't see effort-they see risk.
This is why governance requires more than orientation and annual training. It requires systems that are clear, documented, and consistently applied.
The Gravely Group helps Head Start programs build governance structures that meet compliance expectations and stand up to monitoring. Their approach ensures governing bodies and policy councils understand their roles, exercise true oversight, and maintain documentation that protects funding and program integrity.
Because staying in compliance starts at the top-and strong governance protects everything below it.
