The McKinney Vento Homeless & Foster Care Series

About this experience

The McKinney Vento Homeless & Foster Care Series is an opportunity for school district staff in the roles of McKinney Vento Homeless Liaison and District Foster Care Point of Contact to understand the legal requirements and responsibilities of school districts related to students experiencing homeless and students in out of home care placement. Participants will learn best practice strategies, resources and ideas to strengthen school processes and systems. The CESA 6 facilitator brings 28 years of social work career experience including direct practice roles in both of these school district positions and background in school & child welfare social work systems. Sessions will include topic specific learning and networking with professional peers.*
