Changes are being proposed to the Head Start program in Texas. An expert in early education has expressed concerns about the potential impact of these changes. The proposed changes include looser federal ratios and smaller overhead budgets.

The expert believes these changes could have a negative effect on the program, which serves thousands of low-income children. Additionally, English-only rules are also part of the proposed changes. Further details about the proposed changes and their potential impact are available from the Texas Standard.

The changes could shift costs and risk to the state, but more information is needed to understand the full implications.
