The Trump administration has announced plans to overhaul Head Start, the nation’s early education and nutrition program for children living in poverty. The proposed measure would rescind hundreds of federal regulations overseeing Head Start, including mandates to provide assistance for parents of children with disabilities. Advocates warn the move will completely gut the program, which was first enacted over 60 years ago under the Health and Human Services Department — now run by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Annually, Head Start serves more than 700,000 children from birth to age 5.
