McKinney-Vento Homeless Program

MKV
HOMELESS EDUCATION PROGRAM
MCKINNEY-VENTO IN DUPLIN COUNTY SCHOOLS 

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. 

 
In Duplin County Schools, each school has a social worker who is responsible for working with McKinney-Vento students and families.  
If you have questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact your school social worker or principal for more information.
