Fpllow @CLASP_DC and @_NMSHSA and follow along with #MSHSChat at 1pm today.

@_NMSHSA @SenateDems @SenateGOP This was a great chat! Thanks @_NMSHSA for hosting this conversation.

We hope to see @SenateDems & @SenateGOP move these funding priorities forward in their LHHS #approps bill.
We’ve enjoyed hosting this #MSHSChat with @CLASP_DC. We appreciate you all taking the time to join us. Let us know what you’ve learned by tagging @_NMSHSA and @CLASP_DC
@CLASP_DC Great summary! While the bill still needs to pass the Senate and be signed by the President (meaning it will likely see changes before it is finalized) we hope folks will join us in thanking the House for their support of #HeadStart ➡️ https://t.co/NK44l8KXby #MSHSChat
A6.1 Quality improvement funds are very flexible. These funds can be used to improve program quality and address the challenges facing #HeadStart programs, the children and families they serve, & the early educators that support them. #MSHSChat
Q6. Ok, that is important to note. But overall, that sounds like a win for #HeadStart! What are some of the ways Quality Improvement Funds (QIFs) can be used to address program challenges? #MSHSChat
See chart here! #MSHSChat

A5.2 In Senate, we’d like to see similar or greater increases across #HeadStart & all #ECE programs. However, it's important to note: these increases can't be used to make changes to eligibility, application, certification, or other requirements in the Head Start Act. #MSHSChat
A5.1 The House approps bill included $7.4 billion for #CCDBG, $1.5 billion above FY21. It also included $12.2 billion for #HeadStart, $1.4 billion above FY21 funds, and a QIF increase of $250 million—including $12.5 million for #MSHS quality improvement activities. #MSHSChat
Q5. The House LHHS subcmte bill, which controls funding for #HeadStart, has passed. What are some highlights we’d like to see passed in the Senate version of the bill that would benefit the #HeadStart community? #MSHSChat
A4.2 For #HeadStart, increased annual discretionary funding could expand access to currently unserved-yet eligible-children, increase quality improvement funds (QIF), provide cost-of-living-adjustments for the workforce, & help build a more equitable system. #MSHSChat
A4.1 This #approps cycle must prioritize increased discretionary funding for #ECE & #HeadStart. Annual discretionary funding is critical to expanding access, improving quality, & centering equity. #MSHSChat
Q4. Speaking of #ECE and #HeadStart as a whole, what do you think are the most pressing issues that need to be addressed in this appropriations cycle? #MSHSChat

Q3. Given all that our #EssentialWorkers and #MSHS programs have gone through during the pandemic, this process seems extra important to understand. First, help us understand where #MSHS fits within the process. #MSHSChat
A2.5 This resource from The Center on Budget Policy Priorities (@CenterOnBudget), Policy Basics: Introduction to the Federal Budget Process, provides a detailed overview of the Federal budget process. https://t.co/N4fT6HkjRr #MSHSChat
A2.4 Failure to pass budget by 9/30, before new fiscal year starts on Oct. 1, requires Congress to pass a continuing funding resolution. This temporarily sets the same funding level as the previous year, & avoids a lapse in Approps, i.e., a federal government shutdown. #MSHSChat
A2.2 To pass budget: 1) President submits a non-binding budget request 2) House & Senate Budget Cmtes jointly or independently pass a budget res. to set a spending level 3) From the budget resolution each chamber's Approps Cmte distributes funds across 12 subcmtes. #MSHSChat
A2.1 The process to fund the Federal gov't for the upcoming fiscal year via discretionary funding is underway. The House & Senate have begun advancing or have fully passed some of the 12 bills required by each chamber, as detailed by the 1974 Budget Act #MSHSChat
