There are 11 Head Start centers in Volusia County with a total of 94 employees and more than 500 children. The county no longer wants to run the program and will turn it over to a yet to be determined group. That has left many wondering what affect that will have on jobs and the program in general.
Parents are worried that the quality of the program is going to deteriorate.
I feel that with them saying that they don't have the funds or whatever the case may be, they can get the funds. The program is filled with success stories and parents want to keep the same quality instructors. But those instructors could lose their jobs if the program goes private. She's an honor roll student now. Head Start is a really good program.
