Guidance & Procedures for McKinney-Vento Homeless Liaisons
Local educational agencies (LEAs) or school districts are instrumental in ensuring that the rights and services guaranteed in the McKinney-Vento Act are implemented throughout the school district. All LEAs must follow the requirements of the McKinney-Vento Act, whether they have a McKinney-Vento subgrant.
The local liaison is the key to ensuring homeless children and youths receive the services they need. Required in all LEAs regardless of subgrant status, the liaison is the primary contact between homeless families, school and LEA staff, shelter workers, and other service providers.
Our office has created guidance documents and sample forms for use by liaisons. The forms may be adapted for use at your LEA. Please check back frequently for additions and revisions.
