New York State Technical and Education Assistance Center for Homeless Students

Students who transfer schools often do worse in school than those who don't transfer. The McKinney-Vento Act can help solve this problem by allowing students to stay in the same school and get free transportation.

STAC Forms

The System to Track and Account for Children (STAC) forms are used by NYSED exclusively for reimbursement purposes. Completed STAC forms can also help school districts meet their data reporting requirements, because the STAC forms track the number of homeless students and living situations of these students.

STAC-202 Forms [PDF]

STAC-4 Forms [PDF]

STAC-4 forms are used for general state aid on a per-pupil expenditure basis. After the local school district has completed and sent in the STAC-202 to the STAC Office, the STAC Office will send the district a partially completed STAC-4 form for the district to complete. The district must then complete the STAC-4 forms and return the forms to the STAC Office. Find answers to commonly asked questions about STAC-4 forms.
