LACOE Head Start and Early Learning (HSEL) maintains a strong working relationship with the County Superintendent, County Board, and the LACOE Head Start Policy Council under our shared governance structure.
The County Superintendent and the Board jointly act as the HSEL governing body. Head Start parents play an important role in our policies and how programs are governed. The policy council and delegate agencies’ policy committees, consisting of parents and community representatives, work together with HSEL management and the governing body to provide overall direction for the program.
