Policy Council

Head Start
The West River Head Start Policy Council, along with HIT Inc. Board of Directors, determines Head Start policies. The Policy Council has ten parents from the Head Start program chosen by the parents. One parent representative and one parent alternate from each classroom are elected annually by ballot during parent orientation of each year.

All parents are encouraged and invited to attend. Your input is vital to Head Start. Please refer to your calendar for the location and date of Policy Council meetings.

Policy Council meets at 7PM central time on the third Thursday of each month, unless otherwise noted. The meetings are held at the Mandan site.

Supper and childcare are provided for Policy Council meetings. Please RVSP each month to (701)663-9507 or 1-888-327-4670.
