Identification Strategies • Coordinate with community service agencies, such as shelters, soup kitchens, food banks, street outreach teams, drop-in centers, welfare departments, housing departments, public health departments, and faith-based organizations • Provide outreach materials and posters where there is a frequent influx of low-income families and youth in high-risk situations, including motels and campgrounds
Identification StrategiesContinued… • Develop relationships with truancy officials and/or other attendance officers • Provide awareness activities for school staff (registrars, secretaries, school counselors, school social workers, school nurses, teachers, bus drivers, administrators, etc.) • Avoid using the word “homeless” in initial contacts with school personnel, families, or youth
School Selection • Students have the right to stay in “school of origin” (to the extent feasible) -for the duration of homelessness; -if in the best interest of student; and, -parent requested • “School of origin” is the school the child attended when permanently housed or last enrolled
School Selection Continued… • Students can stay in their school of origin the entire time they are homeless, and until the end of any academic year in which they move into permanent housing • If a student is sent to a school other than that requested by a parent or guardian, the district must provide a written explanation to the parent or guardian of its decision and their right to appeal

Transportation Strategies • Coordinate with local housing authorities and placement agencies to house students near their school of origin • Re-route school buses (including special education, magnet school and other buses), and ensure that buses travel to shelters, transitional living programs, and motels • Develop close ties among LEA homeless liaisons, school staff, and pupil transportation staff to arrange and coordinate transportation
Transportation StrategiesContinued… • Coordinate with local housing authorities, placement agencies, and social services for foster care placement to house students near their school of origin • If the districts cannot agree on who will pay the costs, the districts must share the costs • In addition to providing transportation to the school of origin, LEA’s must provide students in homeless situations with transportation services comparable to those provided to other students

Title I StrategiesContinued… • Collect data on students experiencing homelessness as part of the overall district-wide data collection system • Pool Title I and McKinney-Vento funds to provide a comprehensive program for homeless students, ensuring that specific needs of children experiencing homelessness or high mobility are met • Ensure coordination between Title I and McKinney-Vento through state and local planning and activities
