DRS Round 3: List by State with Funded Enrollment

Feb 12, 2014

On or before February 5, 2014, 103 grantees were informed that they will have to compete for continued funding of their Head Start or Early Head Start programs.  Per 45 CFR 1307, these programs met one or more of seven specific conditions, or triggers, that now put a grantee agency into recompetition status.

In this round, 38 states (including the US Territory of Puerto Rico) are home to the 103 grantees on the recompete list.  The states with the greatest number of grantees on the list are Texas (12), Pennsylvania (8) and Louisiana (8).  The majority (25) had only one or two grantees on the list.

Another way to think about all of this is by the number of children in the programs on the list.

Just yesterday, we got a call from a mom in Texas.  She was thinking about enrolling her child in Head Start but had learned that the program’s grantee was on the list and wanted to know what that meant for her.  This really re-focused our attention on the children (funded enrollment) in these programs and the families who might be entering these programs.

According to the most recent PIR data, there are 65,366 Head Start and Early Head Start children in programs operated by the grantees on the DRS Round 3 list.

In terms of funded enrollment, which states are most significantly impacted?

Pennsylvania           14.76%
Texas                         11.35%
Mississippi               11.27%

The rest of the programs amount to 62.62% of the funded enrollment and each state has less than 7.5% of the total.

Although Louisiana was third in number of grantees by state, their impacted funded enrollment was 5th on the list, or 5.31% of the total funded enrollment.

The states whose grantees have the lowest funded enrollment represented on the Round 3 list are:

Washington             .24%
Nevada                      .15%
Colorado                   .08%
