money must be initially allocated to the remaining local agencies based equally on the
agencies' share of federal funds and on the proportion of eligible children in the agencies'

year. For all agencies without a federal Early Head Start rate, the state average federal cost
per child for Early Head Start applies. In allocating funds under this paragraph, the
commissioner of education must assure that each new text begin non-Tribal new text end Head Start program in existence

fiscal year 1993. Before paying money to the programs, the commissioner must notify each
program of its initial allocation and how the money must be used. Each program must
present a plan under section 119A.535. For any program that cannot utilize its full allocation
at the beginning of the fiscal year, the commissioner must reduce the allocation
proportionately. Money available after the initial allocations are reduced must be redistributed
to eligible programs.

(b) The commissioner must develop procedures to make payments to programs based
upon the number of children reported to be enrolled during the required time period of
program operations. Enrollment is defined by federal Head Start regulations. The procedures
must include a reporting schedule, corrective action plan requirements, and financial
consequences to be imposed on programs that do not meet full enrollment after the period
of corrective action. Programs reporting chronic underenrollment, as defined by the
commissioner, will have their subsequent program year allocation reduced proportionately.
Funds made available by prorating payments and allocations to programs with reported
underenrollment will be made available to the extent funds exist to fully enrolled Head Start
programs through a form and manner prescribed by the department.

(c) Programs with approved innovative initiatives that target services to high-risk
populations, including homeless families and families living in homeless shelters and
transitional housing, are exempt from the procedures in paragraph (b). This exemption does
not apply to entire programs. The exemption applies only to approved innovative initiatives
that target services to high-risk populations, including homeless families and families living
