| The New Head Start Act allows grantees to pay for the tuition and education expense of teachers pursuing a Bachelors Degree, and to require then to sign an agreement to work a set period after graduation or repay the amount. What if the teacher does not complete this required period and does not repay the amount owed? This becomes a “bad debt” an is therefore an unallowable costs per 2 CFR 220 Appendix A(J)(6). Would the grantee be required to absorb this “bad debt” in non- Head Start funds? This could put a significant burden on the grantee and reduce the incentive to make these loans.
