DOTHAN, Ala. (WDHN) — Dothan City School board members called for a special board meeting late Thursday night to discuss the status of several projects.


Board members began their discussion with their new Head Start Program. According to Superintendent Dennis Coe, the project is coming along.


“We had a couple of grant applications had a really quick turnaround deadline to turn around our Head Start Center,” Coe said. “There were some federal grants that were made available for our Head Start Center that would help us offset the costs of the cost of living and adjustment for employees for next year.”


According to Coe, the program will be extremely beneficial to students.


“Having children get an early start in education in a structured environment whether it’s in Head Start or Pre-K research shows that those children perform so much better.”


Initially, the board applied for the grants in order to give their Head Start and public school employees equal pay.
