RFK Jr. moves forward with Head Start overhaul, proposing to eliminate regulations for the early education program

The Trump administration and RFK Jr. are moving forward with an overhaul of Head Start, a critical early education program for the nation's poorest children. The Department of Health and Human Services announced plans to eliminate numerous regulations, aiming to foster increased local decision-making. These proposed changes, posted online Thursday, seek to remove the regulatory hallmarks of the program to restructure how early education is delivered to disadvantaged youth across the United States.
