The Head Start Policy Council is composed of parent representatives who are elected by parents at each of the local Program Committee meetings at the beginning of the program year, and representatives from community agencies within the Fairfax County Head Start service area who have been elected by the Head Start Policy Council. During Policy Council meetings, members learn about changes and opportunities in the Fairfax County Head Start programs and have the opportunity to share their own insights. The Council meetings take place in person or virtually (Microsoft Teams).
