Trump administration proposes sweeping Head Start deregulation

The Trump administration announced plans to overhaul Head Start, the federal preschool program for low-income children, by eliminating most of its regulations. Officials say the changes would boost local decision-making and enrollment, which has declined over a decade. Critics argue deregulation could undermine the program's quality and its role in helping families escape poverty. The proposal is open for 60 days of public comment before finalization.
