Fort Bragg has no Head Start this fall, a first in more than 30 years
For the first fall in more than 30 years, North Coast Opportunities has no Head Start classroom on the Mendocino coast. The nonprofit pointed to state-mandated transitional kindergarten, the free public-school grade for 4-year-olds, which grew at Fort Bragg Unified from 26 to 69 students in two years.
