Sec.  1305.9  Policy on fees.

    A Head Start program must not prescribe any fee schedule or 
otherwise provide for the charging of any fees for participation in the 
program. If the family of a child determined to be eligible for 
participation by a Head Start program volunteers to pay part or all of 
the costs of the child's participation, the Head Start program may 
accept the voluntary payments and record the payments as program income.
    Under no circumstances shall a Head Start program solicit, 
encourage, or in any other way condition a child's enrollment or 
participation in the program upon the payment of a fee.
