Rachel Poovey is the designated homeless liaison for our school district. This is a federally mandated position, with specific requirements that are aimed to ensure that we identify and support our students who are experiencing homelessness.
One of the many federally mandated requirements is to deliver training to all staff within our school district on the laws related to homelessness and ways to properly identify these students. This training is not only required, but it is also very important as we aim to increase the identification of homeless students in our district, impacting Local Educational Agency (LEA) funding for students experiencing homelessness and for Homeless Education Programs.
Given our limited resources and time to deliver this training in person, we have teamed up with Mckinney-Vento.org to provide an online alternative that is faster, easier, and more cost-effective. It should take you LESS THAN 15 minutes to complete.
Please review your login instructions, and I would respectfully request that you complete this training no later than September 8, 2022.
