Policy Council is made up of Parents and Community Representatives.  Each classroom has an Executive Committee, and the Chair of the committee serves on the Policy Council. 

Policy council works in partnership with key Program management and staff and the School Board to develop, review and approve policies, strategic directions, criteria for the recruitment, selection and enrollment of children, funding application, personnel and other business that requires Policy Council approval.

Short trainings are done at each Policy council meeting, and Community Partners share information and resources available for families which the PC Chairs to take back to the parents in their individual classrooms.

F.I.S.H Philosophy:

Fathers Involved Shaping Head Start children
Create meaningful opportunities for
men to learn and develop effective
fathering skills, spend more time with their
children, and become a player in the
development of their child.

Parent Information & Resource Library (PIRC) assists parents in taking a proactive approach to developing a whole, healthy family by making educational materials, training, support, information and other resources readily accessible to all families in Davis County.
