Government shutdown, Head Start, and child care in Wisconsin
The federal government shutdown has now stretched on for more than a month and money for some vital services is not being distributed. In Milwaukee County, 125-thousand children benefitted from food assistance at some point last year.
Two Head Start childcare programs in our state are now poised to close their doors this month due to the shutdown. Jennie Mauer is the executive director of Wisconsin’s Head Start Association. She joins WUWM education reporter Katherine Kokal to talk about the challenges facing Wisconsin’s most vulnerable families.
