Students who experience homelessness are eligible to receive support through the McKinney-Vento Act and Title I, Part A of the ESEA. But many questions remain about who the students are, what their needs are, and how to best meet them. This session will address some of those basic questions while also looking at practical solutions implemented by districts who have had success with improving student outcomes on chronic absenteeism and adjusted cohort graduation rates.
