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.

REMINDER FOR LIAISONS: LEA liaisons are responsible for making sure that public notices, like the NYS-TEACHS' posters, are put up in areas where children and youth who are homeless receive services, such as schools, school district offices, the office of the local department of social services, shelters, and soup kitchens. Other examples of where liaisons should put up posters include: public libraries, eviction prevention providers, legal services providers, and housing court.
