October 23, 2024: McKinney-Vento: Identification Indicators

This session will provide participants with terminology, proper identifiers, and

PEIMS indicators regarding homeless students.

The Texas Education Agency (TEA) has released updated McKinney-Vento Posters. There are two versions of the poster, one to assist parents of school-age youth and a second to assist unaccompanied youth. The posters are available in both English and Spanish.

Local Education Agencies (LEAs) can download the digital files below and post this information on their LEA homeless education program webpage. LEAs should collaborate with their school staff and community partners (e.g. food pantries, faith-based organizations, local housing authorities, shelters, etc.) to share printed copies of this poster.

As district visits are being scheduled by our ESC Consultants, hard copies of the posters will be delivered to the District Homeless Liaison at that time. Please be sure to have these posted near entrances/areas with high parent/student traffic.

Additional guidance related to disciplinary actions for students experiencing homelessness is available in a recently released TEHCY Discipline One-Pager.
