Good morning, Walla Walla.
🏘️ Community

🏛️ Government
The ongoing government shutdown has disrupted the Head Start program at Walla Walla Center for Children and Families as the local school district can no longer access guidance from its regional office, putting child care services and funding in doubt for its 116 students.
Furloughed staff and delayed federal grants have forced some centers to use reserve funds—raising concerns that additional programs may soon face closure if the shutdown is not resolved.
