Head Start Collaboration Office
[YEAR] Annual Report Questionnaire
ABOUT THIS REPORT
This annual report will support the work completed by your Head Start Collaboration Office (HSCO). The
annual report will allow the Office of Head Start (OHS) to capture and promote your collaboration office
accomplishments that are both quantitative and qualitative. The categories were determined by
information that was submitted in past reports along with current priorities and therefore is intended to
build on past work as we move forward. While we structure a number of questions to focus on current
priorities, we also allow for work outside of the priorities to be reported at the end of each section.
INSTRUCTIONS
Please only report on work completed during the [YEAR] calendar year. When necessary, you may
include some background information prior to [YEAR] to understand the work being reported. If no work
has been completed in an area during [YEAR], there is no need to enter any information.
THE PAPERWORK REDUCTION ACT OF 1995 (Pub. L. 104-13)
Public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 3 hours per response,
including the time for reviewing instructions, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and reviewing
the collection of information.
An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of
information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.
