Program parents, community members, and policy counsel and governing board members participate with the annual Self-Assessment activity to monitor the implementation of the Performance Standards.

The Head Start financial records are audited each year by each partnership ISD, as well as Education Service Center, Region 20.

Each service area has an Advisory Committee that encourages community involvement and collaboration with resource agencies.

The Community Assessment is revised every three years to include pertinent information which guides the program towards changes that will better meet the needs of the communities being served.

The annual Self-Assessment activity is the means by which the program self-evaluates each year. Service area plans are revised to include necessary changes for program improvement as found in the self assessment.

A federal review of Head Start Programs occurs every three years. The new Program Review Instrument for Systems Monitoring (PRISM) includes staff and parent interviews, classroom observations, and a review of required documentation.
