We are sharing the below information that the NHSA emailed to members recently. It contains links that address questions about the new Aligned Monitoring System.

----------------------------------

As we shared last week, NHSA and a group of national, regional, and state associations submitted comments to the Administration for Children and Families with your most pressing concerns about the new Aligned Monitoring System. Today we received a response that outlines how the Office of Head Start will move forward, with your considerations in mind. Read their letter here. You may also be interested to see what OHS has released publicly clarifying the intent and design of the new system, as they reference in the letter.

If you haven't already, we urge you to join us for a call with Linda Smith of ACF, Ann Linehan of OHS, and members of the OHS leadership team next Tuesday, November 25th, at 2:30 PM EST. Register and submit your questions today! This should be a meaningful opportunity to hear directly from Head Start leadership and we look forward to talking with you then.

Sincerely,
 
Yasmina Vinci
Executive Director
