Dear colleagues:
Please find below information on an upcoming webinar to be offered by our colleagues at the National Law Center for Homelessness and Poverty.
Register now for our webinar on
Engaging Legal Advocates in ESSA Implementation
Thursday 2/2/17 at 2pm ET / 11am PT
The National Law Center on Homelessness & Poverty recently released
Homeless Students Count, a resource that highlights common areas where states need to take aggressive action to come into full compliance with the Education for Homeless Children & Youth Program under the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act (“McKinney-Vento”). The Every Student Succeeds Act of 2015, which reauthorized and amended McKinney-Vento, provides plenty of opportunities for legal advocates to engage with policy makers in their states.
Come join us to learn how legal advocates in Maryland, Washington, Pennsylvania, and Illinois have advocated for the education rights of homeless students. Speakers will identify key priorities in their respective states that others could consider adopting and will also share their experiences working with state and local educational agencies, advocacy strategies, and best practices and recommendations for how to make a positive impact on the education of homeless children and youth.
Participants will get the most out of the webinar if they already have a basic understanding of McKinney-Vento. Read more about McKinney-Vento
on our website.
