Guides & Fact Sheets Communications Guide for McKinney-Vento Liaisons NYS-TEACHS: Centering Anti-Racist Approaches to Conversations with Families and Colleagues McKinney-Vento liaisons are responsible for the identification, enrollment, and the removal of educational barriers for students experiencing homelessness. McKinney-Vento liaisons can create meaningful change in their districts and the lives of students experiencing homelessness by providing internal trainings and connecting students to educational resources and community referrals. Unfortunately, due to systemic racism across many aspects of American life, Black, Latinx, Native American, and Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander communities experience homelessness at disproportionate rates compared to white and Asian communities. Systemic racism exists in schools; therefore, it is crucial for McKinney-Vento liaisons to reflect on school protocols and narratives that reinforce racial bias and inequity. Even small intentional changes, such as in our semantics, can have positive effects on family relationships and ultimately, the well-being and success of students. We created this tip sheet to help McKinney-Vento liaisons and other school staff reflect on their own communication styles, race, and how institutional racism impacts students and families.

Homeless education resources regarding privacy of student records Privacidad de los expedientes de los estudiantes La Ley de Privacidad y Derechos Educativos de la Familia (FERPA) proporciona protecciones importantes para garantizar que los estudiantes y las familias puedan acceder a sus registros escolares y mantenerlos privados. Bajo FERPA, las escuelas deben: Obtener el consentimiento previo del padre o del estudiante (si el estudiante tiene 18 años o más) antes de divulgar información del registro educativo de un estudiante a un tercero, a menos que el tercero esté relacionado con la educación continua del estudiante (por ejemplo , un nuevo distrito escolar). Permitir que los padres accedan a los registros educativos de sus hijos, incluidas las transcripciones, cuando se soliciten Permitir que los estudiantes accedan a sus propios registros educativos, incluidas las transcripciones, cuando se soliciten, incluso si son menores de 18 años. Las protecciones de privacidad para los estudiantes en viviendas temporales se han fortalecido con la reautorización de la Ley McKinney-Vento según la Ley Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), que entró en vigor el 1 de octubre de 2016. ESSA y FERPA limitan el tipo de información que un distrito escolar puede compartir con terceros al verificar la elegibilidad de un estudiante según McKinney -Vento. La información sobre la situación de la vivienda de un estudiante ahora se considera información protegida y no se puede compartir con terceros sin el consentimiento previo de los padres o el estudiante. (Sin embargo, los enlaces de MV aún pueden compartir información del estudiante con un nuevo distrito escolar para ayudar al estudiante a inscribirse en la escuela).

Find information about the local poverty rates & student homelessness in New York State. Tasas de pobreza local y estudiantes sin hogar Los datos de pobreza pueden ser una herramienta útil para que los distritos estimen el número aproximado de estudiantes que pueden experimentar la falta de vivienda. Según el Urban Institute (Informe de 2001 disponible aquí ), aproximadamente el diez por ciento de los niños que viven en la pobreza experimentarán la falta de vivienda en un año determinado. Se puede acceder a los datos de pobreza a través del Oficina del censo de EE . UU. Tenga en cuenta que hay muchos factores fuera de la pobreza que contribuyen a la falta de vivienda (por ejemplo, desastres naturales, incendios en el hogar, violencia doméstica) que pueden afectar el número informado de estudiantes sin hogar. Estos datos no deben verse como cuotas sino como pautas aproximadas para ayudar al personal escolar y a los proveedores de servicios a pensar en la posible prevalencia de la falta de vivienda en una comunidad. Esta hoja de cálculo incluye datos desglosados para cada distrito escolar del Estado de Nueva York con la siguiente información: Número estimado de niños de 5 a 17 años (niños en edad escolar) que viven en la pobreza (datos de 2019) 10% de los niños de 5 a 17 años que viven en la pobreza Número total de estudiantes identificados como personas sin hogar por el distrito (datos de 2019-20) Número de estudiantes posiblemente sub-identificados como personas sin hogar Los datos de pobreza provienen de la Oficina del Censo de EE. UU. Los datos de personas sin hogar provienen del Departamento de Educación del Estado. El número de estudiantes posiblemente sub-identificados se calculó restando los datos de personas sin hogar del 10% de los niños que viven en la pobreza.
