Quiver AI Summary
Congresswoman Maxine Waters has introduced the Head Start Shutdown Protection Act in the House of Representatives as the government shutdown reaches its 17th day. The legislation aims to safeguard children and families in the Head Start program by requiring the federal government to reimburse local entities that use their own funds to maintain these critical services.
Waters emphasized the importance of Head Start, noting it serves low-income children and helps ensure their school readiness. "We cannot allow the government shutdown to disrupt their education," she stated, highlighting that many programs are already facing funding challenges.
Co-sponsored by multiple representatives, the bill comes amid reports of Head Start programs struggling financially, with potential closures affecting thousands of children.
