Efforts to improve the Head Start act
On May 2, 2007, the House considered a bill (H.R.1429), sponsored by Rep. Kildee, aimed at enhancing cognitive, social and emotional development that supports growth in language, literacy, mathematics, science, physical skills and approaches to learning by reaching out to homeless, migrant, seasonal, Native American, and Native Alaskan populations.[2]
The bill would create a panel to review grants to Head Start agencies and to monitor and measure performance including under-performing agencies and require improved training of Head Start teachers and personnel in early childhood development. The panel would also improve coordination with state schools and K-12 programs. By 2013, 50% of Head Start teachers would be required to have a bachelor degree in early childhood development and new hires would need at least an associate degree.[3]
Income qualifications for the program would also be eased to include those within 130% of the federal poverty level. Military housing would not be included in determining eligibility requirements. New efforts would include providing training in parenting skills and, unless the exam is intrusive, parents would not need to give permission for examining a sick child.[4]
An amendment to the measure was offered which would allow faith-based organizations to participate in the program and hire only those of the same faith for such endeavors. The amendment was defeated.[5]
The final bill passed, 365-48.

Rep. Mark Foley page scandal
During the 109th Congress, Kildee served as the lone Democrat on the Page Committee, which oversees the program by which dozens of teenagers work on Capitol Hill each year assisting in the administrative tasks of Congress. In 2006, the head of the Page Board, Rep. John Shimkus (R-Ill.), failed to notify Kildee of concerning emails sent by Rep. Mark Foley (R-Fla.) to a teenage page. When the emails, along with sexually suggestive instant messages sent by Foley to pages, were made public in late September 2006, Kildee publicly stated his displeasure that he was not notified.
