Head Start Program Performance
Standards
Head Start Programs operate under
detailed regulations and program performance standards.
These rules are reviewed annually by October 1 and then
published in the Code of Federal Regulations (45 CFR
Parts 1301-1311). Substantive changes to the regulations
are published in the Federal Register throughout the
year as warranted. These and other small changes are
incorporated into the official annual edition. The
