The Office of Head Start announced to Head Start Grantees and Delegates the 2019-2020 Program Information Report (PIR) will not be required this year. According to the Head Start website, the Office of Head Start wants to eliminate the reporting burden of the PIR as well as remove any confusion on how certain elements of the PIR could be collected and interpreted when programs are closed due to COVID-19.

Additionally, programs are not required to submit PIR data on services provided in a supplemental summer program.

Complete information about the PIR can be found on the Head Start website:

Any questions regarding the PIR announcement should be directed to your Regional Head Start Office.
