Biden admin to raise Head Start teacher pay by $10k to tackle workforce shortage, improve retention.

The Biden administration is set to raise the pay of Head Start teachers by $10,000 to tackle a workforce shortage and improve retention. This move aims to address the issue by providing fairer wages to thousands of Head Start teachers and staff, ultimately enhancing the quality of the program for hundreds of thousands of American children, particularly those from low-income families. However, concerns have been raised about how Head Start programs will implement these changes without additional federal funding.
