There are factions within a local government funded program that targets the health and education of families in Springfield that are causing a catastrophic rift in services. The Head Start program administrators have over several years managed to get rid of 30 plus workers in the program causing a decided lowering of standards in teaching and building maintenance. These factions amount to a vocal set of folks who if not for this program and the current managers would be unable to reach the level they exist in. These same contributors to the lessening of standards have created such a disastrous situation that even the neediest parents have begun seeking other alternatives to the Head Start program as administered in Springfield. Those parents who serve on the policy council were deliberately kept uninformed about the firings and hiring’s as was their right to know and comment or act on. It is unfortunate that the upper management see no harm in what they have done and continue to do yet the evidence is all around them like the remains of a tornado. The community should be up in arms about this yet they have been still sheltered from their own plight by deception and actions bordering on corruption. these audacious actions have been noticed by the regional and state Head Starts but no action has been taken since much of the truth is still being hidden.
