Head Start to remain under leadership of Harris County Department of Education

The Head Start program need to remain under the Department of Education.

The head start program is so essential to the children. Please continue with this program.

Head start is needed. Kids need it, the parents need it. It's important.

Head start is a necessity in the areas they are located. The kids learn a lot there. Otherwise they maybe behind when they start kindergarten.

Headstart program is very essential to the growth and behavior of young children in America.

Maintain funding and active Head Start programs

We need early childhood learning! I would hate that kids would miss out on it! Please keep this going!

The head start program is an important educational gateway for students not of school age. Both of my children participated in the head start program and are now advanced in their studies. Please don't end the head start program!

This program is absolutely amazing, helps children prepare for kindergarten! My kids have excelled in school because of the things they learned while at headstart! The teachers are amazing, of course I only know the teacher at the Laporte location, but I truly believe they all make a difference in each and every child's life. So many people will be let down by our county leaders if this shut down goes through! I would be devastated if any of my future children couldn't attend this school if the program ends. Please really think about everything this program has to offer to so many families in Harris County before making a decision. So many other changes have been made to our education system already, it would be ashame to see this go down too.

The Headstart program and Early Headstart program are crucial to our children's early education. My son has greatly benefited from the program and I feel that he is far advanced in his developmental skills than most children. It helps give low income families a chance to give their children a jump ahead on their education.

Early education benefits everyone. Future citizens begin positive development in preschool. Research supports this premise.

Please don't end head start find a way to fund it.

Keep Head Start

And so the beginning of dismantling public education begins.

Keep this program open! Dont throw something alway that is helping mold young minds!

Head start really helped my daughter be ready for when it was time for her to start school!

I petition that Head Start remain under the leadership of Harris County Department of Education.

This program has helped both my children achieve and learn so much at an early age. Not only to prepare them for kindergarten but for there everyday lives as well.

This will be a travesty for poor families. Please don't do this

Please think about the children and thousands of families this program helps. I myself had a child that went 2 years and it made a difference in her life.
