Taking Money From Children: Financial Abuse & Mismanagement in the Head Start Early Childhood Program

"Disturbing evidence exists that an unacceptable share of Head Start funding never reaches the disadvantaged children the money is intended to serve, and is instead lost to financial abuse, mismanagement, impropriety, or outright theft within the Head Start system. There is also evidence these abuses may be taking place at the expense of children served by the many law-abiding, quality grantees within the Head Start system – grantees who too often are put in the position of being forced to defend the actions of the “bad apples” in the program."
