Removing Transportation and Attendance Barriers for Homeless Youth

Students experiencing homelessness face significant barriers to consistent school attendance. Ensuring these students can get to school and fully participate in learning is a challenge that requires district leaders to turn towards innovative solutions.

In this webinar, speakers from HopSkipDrive and SchoolHouse Connection shared practical approaches districts are using to support students from varied circumstances while navigating today’s policy landscape. They also discussed the recently released National Center for Homeless Education (NCHE) data.

By the end of the webinar, you will discover:

• How districts around the country are effectively serving diverse student needs in today’s policy environment

• How to leverage federal funding and resources to support students under the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act

• Tools to identify and support children and youth experiencing homelessness

• The latest on how transportation innovation is helping districts get the most out of their budgets

  Join us to explore actionable strategies that help ensure every student — regardless of housing situation — can get to school and stay engaged in learning.
