McKinney-Vento Homeless Program
For the first time, there was a nationwide effort to identify homeless students in the 2010-11 school year. During that year, schools across the nation identified over 1 million children and youth who experienced homelessness during the 2010-2011 school year (NCHE, 2013). In a nation with economic challenges and shrinking public resources, the number of homeless children and youths has steadily increased over the past 10 years. As a district, we understand and reach out to our homeless students to insure their academic results are not harshly impacted by their homelessness.
