teaching staff are White; 23% Asian; 17% Black; 6% Bi-racial; 3% American Indian/Alaskan

(60%) of Sacramento County Head Start/Early Head Start teaching staff speak a language other

Additionally, many Head Start/Early Head Start
communities have experienced a significant increase in
refugee families from Afghanistan, Iran/Iraq and Syria,
resulting in the need to continue to recruit and hire
qualified staff who speak the language and represent the
culture.
