Sequestration tightens funding for Head Start
Washington budget cuts known as sequestration have slashed funding for Head Start. Nationally about 57,000 slots were cut, with 440 lost in Kansas and 27 in the region. Eric Vaughn of the Kansas Head Start Association urges restoring the cuts while Congress remains focused on the government shutdown and ACA funding.
