A – 045 Are programs allowed to keep monies funded for Head Start positions when the position becomes vacant?
If a grantee determines that it will not need all of the funds for which it has budgeted, i.e., because of unexpected vacancies, the grantee may use these funds for other purposes related to its Head Start grant. The grantee must receive prior approval from its Regional Office only if it is proposing to use these funds to purchase any equipment valued at more than $25,000 or if it is proposing to use these funds in a manner that would substantially change the nature of its Head Start program (i.e., a change in program option). Any unspent grant funds as of the end of the grantee’s budget period are no longer available to the grantee without written permission from the grantee’s Regional Office.
