All
of the draft policies in POD2010 follow the structure shown below:
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What is Policies On Diskette?
A1. Policies On Diskette is a complete set of draft policies and procedures
in a printed manual and on CD-Rom for use by Head Start programs.
We have worked diligently to put together a comprehensive
set of draft policies and procedures that cover all of the Federal
regulations and performance standards that apply to Head Start programs,
complete with cross-references, and following the structure of the FY 2010
Monitoring Protocol
Compliance Questions.
This is the best structure to use for your policies and
procedures.
Since 1998, the Center for Community Futures has taken the
lead in providing excellent draft policies and procedures to Head Start
programs. The effort began with an onsite assessment, review, and
development of a Policy Manual for a local California Head Start
program. Since then, we have kept POD as up-to-date as possible.
We update and publish Policies On Diskette whenever there are changes in
Federal regulations, performance standards, or the Federal Review instrument. (Which is why we have migrated from POD to POD3 to POD4 to POD4a to POD4b to
POD2007 to POD2008 to POD2009 and now to POD2010.)
Q2. We already ordered a previous version of Policies On Diskette. Do we need to purchase Policies On Diskette
2010 also?
A2. We recommend that you keep the work you have already
done on your policies and procedures, but adapt them into the structure of the
current Federal Review tool. Use POD 2010 to do so. The CD includes
files that will help you migrate from previous versions.
Q3. How does the Policy Manager software
relate to Policies On Diskette?
A3. Policy Manager Two contains the draft
policies from POD. It includes all of the POD policies and regulations, and
it can be used either way--by Federal review tool compliance question or by Regulations
sequence.
Q4. What do you recommend for programs that have not
purchased Policies On Diskette?
A4. Purchase Policies On Diskette 2010 and get going on
bringing your policies and procedures up-to-date with the current Federal
review instrument.
