EDUCATION OF CHILDREN AND YOUTH EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS
McKinney Vento-Assistance for Homeless Youth
Education of Children and Youth Experiencing Homelessness
The main objective of the McKinney-Vento Homeless Education Assistance Improvement Act of 2001 (Public Law 107-110, Subtitle B) is to make sure homeless youth have access to appropriate education while removing barriers that homeless children face. Unaccompanied youth means a homeless child or youth not in the physical custody of a parent or guardian. This includes youth who have run away from home; been abandoned or forced out of home by a parent, guardian or other caretaker; or separated from a parent or guardian for any other reason.
Its goal is to minimize interruptions to the education of homeless youth. The Muncy School District is committed to working collaboratively with families and local agencies to support homeless youth in our school community. If you believe, you fall into the category of children in youth experiencing homelessness or know of someone who is please contact the homeless liaison listed below.
