Form 1 Program Information Report
Head Start Program Information Report
2020-2021 PIR Form - V1.1-7-31-20-Final
Head Start Program Information Report
OMB: 0970-0427
Background and Purpose
In 1978, Head Start began the first uniform collection of Head Start program data to describe the nation’s programs. From the mid-1980s on, the Head Start Program Information Report (PIR) has been the principal source of basic information about Head Start services. The PIR is not intended to assess compliance with the Head Start Program Performance Standards or other regulations. The primary purpose of the PIR is to make data available about local Head Start programs to a broad audience including the public, researchers, policymakers, Congress, local and state early childhood entities, Head Start staff, and many others. For example, the PIR makes data publicly available on the number of enrolled children experiencing homelessness, in foster care, and with disabilities. The PIR shows how program data changes or remains stable over time, which may impact policies, research papers, public perception, federal initiatives, and much more.
Head Start programs are flexible by design and in their approach to meet the needs of their community. Head Start programs gather data via self-assessments, set goals and track progress towards those goals, and use data to continuously improve. As such, the PIR provides data on select foundational elements of the program and is not intended to reflect the robust data individual programs collect and track to inform their operations and long-term planning. For example, the PIR provides general information about teacher qualifications, but local Head Start programs collect more detail about their staffing credentials and professional development.
Reporting Requirements
The annual Head Start Program Information Report (PIR) must be completed by all programs funded by the federal government to operate Head Start (HS) and Early Head Start (EHS) programs. A separate PIR must be completed for each grantee and each delegate agency. Separate reports must be completed for HS and EHS Programs.
Deadline
The 2020-2021 PIR is due no later than August 31, 2021. Programs are encouraged to submit their reports as soon as their program year is complete.
Submitting the PIR
All programs are required to submit PIR data electronically using the Head Start Enterprise System (HSES), located at http://hses.ohs.acf.hhs.gov/hsprograms.
Delegate programs submit PIRs to the grantee for review and approval in HSES.
Grantees submit their grantee and delegate program PIRs through HSES.
There are three steps to submitting the PIR:
Input or upload the PIR, review and answer all questions
Use the system validation functions to check the program’s PIR for errors and make any necessary corrections
If validation is successful, mark the PIR complete
Guidance and Reference Materials
2020-2021 PIR guidance, reference materials, change highlights, and frequently asked questions are available at http://eclkc.ohs.acf.hhs.gov/pir.
Programs are encouraged to reference this copy of the 2020-2021 PIR Form as they are collecting and preparing their data for submission.

PIR Reporting Timeframes
There are three different timeframes for reporting PIR which include “at enrollment”, “at end of enrollment”, or “during the program year”. These are defined below.
Note that if a PIR question does specify a timeframe, then the “During the Program Year” definition applies.
Timeframe |
Definition |
At Enrollment |
For returning enrollees, report their status at the start of their 2020-21 program year. For new enrollees or those who enrolled after the program began, report their status at the time of their enrollment. |
At End of Enrollment |
Report the status of each enrollee at the end of their 2020-21 program year. For enrollees who leave during the program year, include their most recent known status prior to leaving. |
Note: More than 20 PIR questions request data programs collect At Enrollment and At End of Enrollment and the status collected should reflect the start or end date of the program year as best possible. |
|
During the Program Year |
Report on services that directly relate to the 2020-21 program year. This may not align with the start and end dates of classes or home visits. Programs have flexibility in reporting program services that occur before and after those dates. For example:
Note that programs do not report on program services related to children and families enrolling to begin services in the next program year. These services would be included in the next PIR.
Exception on child turnover question: The question on child turnover excludes turnover that occurs before the start and after the end of the program year, i.e. when the program is not in session. |
None Specified |
|
Guidance on Enrollees that Leave the Program and then Return During the Program Year
Enrollees may leave the program and then return during the same program year. For these enrollees, programs should not duplicate data. The At Enrollment and At End of Enrollment follow the definitions above, regardless of the period of time when they were not attending the program. During the Program Year would capture services provided across any period of time when they were enrolled and participating in the program during the program year.
Funded Enrollment
Funded Enrollment is the total number of enrollees the program was funded to serve during the program year.
Head Start/Early Head Start Funded Enrollment - The total number of Head Start children and/or Early Head Start children and pregnant women identified on the Grantee’s Notice of Award (NOA) that captures the greatest part of the program year.
Funded Enrollment from Non-Federal Sources - The total number of children and pregnant women fully funded by a non-federal source who receive comprehensive services in compliance with Head Start Program Performance Standards. This may include, for example, slots fully funded by the state or local school district.
Funded Enrollment from the Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) Grant Program using the EHS home visiting model – The total number of children and pregnant women funded through the MIECHV grant program to receive services that follow the Early Head Start home visiting model and are in compliance with the Head Start Program Performance Standards.

Funded enrollment by program option
Report funded enrollment slots (slots) for the program option(s) used during the 2020-2021 program year. If more than one program option applied to a group of children, report on the program option used for the greatest part of the year.
Center-based option – Delivery of services primarily in classroom settings.
Head Start – services must be provided for at least 160 days per year for a program that operates five days a week and 128 days per year for a program that operates four days a week.
Early Head Start – services must be provided for at least 1,380 annual hours.
Annual hours are calculated by multiplying days per year by hours per day (i.e. excluding days where the program is not session such as summer break, weekends, and holidays). Include any hours funded by another source including state or local preschool to offer additional hours of services that meet the Head Start Program Performance Standards.
For example, a Head Start program that provided services for 180 days per year, for 6 hours per day, would operate for 180 * 6 = 1,020 annual hours.
For example, an Early Head Start program that provided services for 230 days per year, for 6 hours per day, would operate for 230 * 6 = 1,380 annual hours.
Full-working-day classes/groups operate 10 hours per day and full-calendar-year classes/group operate all days of the year other than Saturday, Sunday, holidays, and 15 or fewer vacation days.
Home-based option – Delivery of services through visits with the child’s parents, primarily in the child’s home and through group socialization opportunities.
Head Start – program must provide a minimum of one 90-minute home visit per week and 32 visits per year as well as 16 group socializations per year.
Early Head Start – program must provide a minimum of one 90-minute home visit per week and 46 visits per year as well as 22 group socializations per year.
Family child care option – Delivery of services to children receiving child care primarily in the home of a family child care provider or other family-like setting. Providers must operate sufficient hours to meet the child care needs of the families and not less than 1,380 hours per year.
Locally designed option – by waiver, programs may request to operate a locally-designed program option including a combination of program options to better meet the needs of their communities or demonstrate or test alternative approaches for providing program services. Any locally-designed option must be formally approved by the responsible HHS official and such approval period indicated in the Notice of Award. All program options deliver a full range of services, consistent with §1302.20(b). Refer to 45 CFR § 1302 Subpart B – Program Structure for additional information.

Each
enrollee will be included in both an ethnicity category and
a race category. For example, a family that self-identifies their
child as Black and Cuban will be counted in the
“Black or African American AND Hispanic or Latino origin,”
Box
A.25.c-1 below. A family that self-identifies their child as Chinese
and not Hispanic will be counted in the “Asian
AND Non-Hispanic Non-Latino origin,” Box
A.25.b-2 below.

Body Mass Index (BMI) – children (HS and Migrant programs)
Migrant programs should report on children age 3 and older only when completing this item.
Body Mass Index (BMI) is a number calculated from a child's weight and height. For children and teens, BMI is age- and sex-specific and is often referred to as BMI-for-age. After BMI is calculated for children and teens, the BMI number is plotted on the CDC BMI-for-age growth charts to obtain a percentile ranking. The percentile indicates the relative position of the child's BMI number among children of the same sex and age. For children, BMI is used to screen for underweight, healthy weight, overweight, or obese.
For more information, including BMI-for-age growth charts, see the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) website, at About BMI for Children and Teens

Education and Development Tools/Approaches
Screening
The Head Start Act requires all children to receive a developmental, sensory, and behavioral screening within 45 days of entering the program, in order to determine if further evaluation is needed. If a child was enrolled in Head Start as a three-year-old, received the screening, and is returning to Head Start as a four-year-old, that child does NOT need to be re-screened.
This question asks about the initial screenings within 45 days of entry for children who are enrolled in the program for the first time. These screenings may take place prior to the child receiving services, for example, developmental screening of children during summer months before classes start at the beginning of fall.
This does not include ongoing screenings that children may receive as part of their regularly scheduled EPSDT visits nor does it include ongoing assessment of children’s health and development.
Report on all children enrolled for the first time, including children who were screened but then left the program prior to 45 days.

Head Start programs provide program services that relate to family engagement outcomes as described in the Head Start Parent, Family, and Community Engagement (PFCE) Framework, including family well-being, parent-child relationships, families as lifelong educators, families as learners, family engagement in transitions, family connections to peers and the local community, and families as advocates and leaders. This PIR question collections information on families receiving a selection of many possible family services to promote progress toward child and family outcomes.
Report the number of families that received the following program services. Families may be counted in more than one category. Only include families that received services directly through the program or through program referrals. Please count only those families that actually received the services, not those that were referred and either did not go or were not yet able to receive the services.
Families who attend educational presentations including those provided through electronic means (e.g. online training modules) may be counted as receiving a service. Informational brochures and pamphlets distributed to all families are not counted in the PIR.

Management Staff Salaries
Annual Salary - Report the staff member’s full annual salary for each position, even if part or all of the salary is funded by a non-ACF source or if the position is split between programs. Specify the actual salary per year. Do not annualize this figure if the staff member works less than 12 months of the year. If there is more than one management staff in a position, then average the salaries of the staff for that position. For example, if a grant has two Program Directors, one with a $75,000 annual salary and another with a $70,000 annual salary, then report the average annual salary as $72,500.
% of Salary Funded by Head Start or Early Head Start - Report the percentage of the staff member’s salary that is paid by Federal Head Start or Early Head Start funds. For example, if the Program Director’s annual salary is $75,000 and one-third of their salary is paid for by the local school district and two-thirds is paid by Head Start, then report the full annual salary of “$75,000” and report the percentage funded by Head Start as “67%”, whether funded as direct or indirect cost. If there is more than one management staff in a position, then average the percent of the salaries funded by Head Start or Early Head Start. For example, if a grant has two Head Start Program Directors, one with 80% of their annual salary paid by Head Start and another with 60% of their annual salary paid by Head Start, then report the average % of salary funded by Head Start as 70%.
Number of Management Staff in this Role - The Office of Head Start recognizes that in many programs, management staff have multiple roles or there may be multiple managers. Report on the number of management staff for each position in the column provided. Do not count part-time staff as less than one person in the staff count.
