The identification and provision of services for homeless students is not only a state requirement but also is required in federal statute under ESSA.
This workshop presented by Tim Stahlke from the Texas Homeless Education Office (THEO) will provide an overview of homeless education including unaccompanied youth and identification procedures, provision of services, resources, and district responsibilities. Hurricane Harvey implications will also be addressed.
Homeless liaisons or their representatives should attend, as well as any person who does the coding for homeless students.
