MODEL INTERAGENCY AGREEMENTModel Interagency Agreement • August 28th, 2009
Contract Type FiledAugust 28th, 2009This “model interagency agreement” was developed from a template originally created between the State Department of Education Early Childhood Special Education Program (IDEA 619) and the Region 1 Office of Health and Human Services (HHS), Administration for Children and Families (ACF), specific to the Head Start Programs in Connecticut. The original model interagency agreement was developed to provide a framework for conversation and ultimately collaborative agreement between Head Start and Early Childhood Special Education programs specific to serving young children with disabilities receiving special education and related services. The template has been revised to present a number of considerations in various areas that community early childhood programs and public schools can use to establish dialogue and ultimately collaborative agreements regarding services and supports to young children with disabilities.
