Students who are homeless have educational rights under the McKinney-Vento Act, a federal law that provides funding to support district programs that serve children and youth experiencing homelessness.

The McKinney-Vento Education of Homeless Children and Youth Assistance Act is a federal law that ensures immediate enrollment and educational stability for children experiencing homelessness. McKinney-Vento provides federal funding to states for the purpose of supporting district programs that serve homeless students.

This training is geared towards case managers working with students experiencing homelessness – both new case managers as well as experienced providers. Staff who work at local school districts and allied organizations are also welcome to register.

Please complete this short pre-training survey as part of your registration. Your survey responses help presenters prepare relevant content based on your experience and questions.

We'll cover a variety of topics including:

• How the US Department of Education defines homelessness
• What it means for a student experiencing homelessness to attend their 'school of origin'
• Details about school districts' responsibility to provide transportation to students

Providers will have the opportunity discuss case scenarios with experts and learn about resources to support the homeless students and families they work with.
