The St. John the Baptist Parish School Board approved the Head Start 2022–23 application and an accompanying cost-allocation plan at its March 10 meeting.
The plan projects Head Start enrollment at 170 students and total Pre‑K enrollment of 350 (Head Start 170, Universal Pre‑K 100, LA‑4 60, Model Early 20). It lays out cost principles — reasonableness, allocability, consistency — and examples for allocating shared costs (for example, per‑student apportionment on field trips and proportional transportation charges when buses are shared). The plan also explains how salaries and wages are charged to federal and state funded programs using after‑the‑fact time and effort certifications.
Board members voted to approve the application and cost allocation plan (motion by Triche, second by Sanders; vote recorded as 10 Yeas, 1 Absent). The certification in the packet is signed by Superintendent Dr. Lynett Hookfin and School Board President Nia Mitchell.
