The Parish was informed today that someone has cashed a fraudulent check that was represented as being issued by the “Breda Town Head Start Center Inc.” Please be advised that the Parish of Natchitoches, as grantee for the federal Head Start program, does not issue any checks in any name other than the Parish of Natchitoches. The Breda Town Head Start Center and the other five centers operated by the Parish in Natchitoches and DeSoto Parishes are not authorized to issue any checks of any kind whatsoever.
It is recommended that local businesses take appropriate action to ensure that they do not fall victim to this illegal activity. Anyone who is presented any “Head Start” check should immediately contact the appropriate law enforcement authorities for assistance.
If there are any questions concerning this matter, please contact Ms. Debbie Miley, Parish Treasurer, at 318-352-2714.

They buy food and supplies and it’s paid by the main office
Maybe because they work there as a teacher, assistant, or cook?
That makes no sense.. they would be paid by the parish and they would know how and when they got paid, this makes no sense whatsoever, someone fell for a scam is what it appears to be
Why would anyone be “getting a check” from head start to begin with???
