Join us for this interactive virtual training designed to help district and campus staff build confidence in supporting students experiencing homelessness. Participants will gain a practical understanding of the federal McKinney-Vento Act, learn the essential responsibilities of a liaison, and explore strategies for identifying eligible students, removing barriers to enrollment and attendance, and ensuring access to educational opportunities. Through real-world scenarios, resource sharing, and collaborative discussion, attendees will leave with tools, guidance, and connections to successfully navigate their role and advocate for students and families.
