Parent Leadership Conference 2024

The HCHSP is divided into six (6) geographic areas. The Policy Council is made up of 6 parent representatives whose children are currently enrolled in the program along with 5 community representatives who the Hidalgo County Commissioners Court appoints. This is similar to a school board for the Head Start program. The Policy Council members meet monthly (the third Wednesday of each month) to help lead the program and participate in important decision-making governing the HCHSP. Elections for Policy Council parent representatives are held during the Parent Leadership Conference in October. To become a Policy Council Member, Parents • must attend the first parent committee meeting at their child's campus held in September. • They must be elected as a Parent Committee Officer for the campus and the Campus Officers will elected. Campus officers consist of a PC parent rep, 1st alternate, and 2nd alternate for each area. • Policy Council members must attend monthly meetings to make informed decisions on behalf of HCHSP. Parent Leadership Conference was held on September 28, 2024 at Double Tree Suites in McAllen, Tx.
