This book was released on 2015 with total page 8 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After disasters, displaced families long to return to a sense of normalcy. As such, reconnecting children and youth to school is especially important during this time. By providing the structure of the educational setting, schools can help children and youth overcome the trauma of a disaster and regain their academic and social stability. Once children and youth are in school safely, parents have the peace of mind and freedom to focus on other post-disaster details to help their families recover. This brief is directed towards relief agencies. Relief agencies play a critical role in connecting families, children, and youth who have been displaced by disasters to needed services, including enabling children and youth to continue their education. By understanding the educational services and supports that are available to homeless children and youth under federal law, relief agencies will be able to coordinate more effectively with schools and school districts (know as local educational agencies or LEAs) after a disaster occurs in their community. A list of National Center for Homeless Education (NCHE) resources, federal resources, and other resources is included.

Book excerpt: Mental health experts consider the return to school to be a critical step in the healing process for children and youth whose lives have been disrupted by disasters. Going to school helps these students find the structure, normalcy, and routine that is essential to their health and well-being. Federal law (The McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act) protects the educational rights of students experiencing homelessness. It provides legal protections so that children and youth in homeless situations can enroll in, attend, and succeed in school and preschool programs. It also establishes procedures to enroll children quickly, assess their needs, and provide services. Finally, the McKinney-Vento Act requires that every school district designate a local homeless education liaison; the local liaison is the district's point person for addressing needs that derive from loss of housing and is, therefore, a key contact for relief agencies.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 8 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After disasters, displaced families long to return to a sense of normalcy, so reconnecting children to school is especially important during this time. While providing the structure of the typical education setting, schools can help students overcome the trauma of a disaster and regain their academic and social stability. Once children are safely in school, parents have the peace of mind and freedom to focus on other post-disaster details to help their families recover. Subtitle VII-B of the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act (42 USC ʹʹ11431-11435), reauthorized in 2001 by Title X, Part C of the No Child Left Behind Act, ensures educational protections for children and youth in homeless situations, including many who have lost their housing due to natural disasters. It provides stability and support for students by requiring all public schools to enroll eligible students immediately, assess their needs, and provide or refer them to additional services as needed. This brief explains key aspects of the legislation, particularly as it relates to students affected by natural disasters. The brief also includes the appendix: Supporting Students and Families Displaced by Disasters: Goals and Strategies for Local Education Agencies (LEAs).

This book was released on 2006 with total page 4 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: School offers structure, stability, and support to children and youth displaced by disasters. The 2005 Gulf Coast hurricanes demonstrated the powerful role that schools can play in helping displaced children overcome the traumas they experience and regain their academic, social, and emotional footing. The school response to the 2005 hurricanes was made possible by preexisting federal legislation that addresses the needs of students experiencing homelessness. The McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act (Subtitle B--Education for Homeless Children and Youth), reauthorized as Title X, Part C, of the No Child Left Behind Act, ensures educational protections for children and youth in homeless situations. The Act establishes procedures to enroll children quickly, assess their needs, and provide services. This brief explains key aspects of the legislation.

This book was released on 2006 with total page 3 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the course of a natural disaster or similar emergency, youth may be separated from their parents or guardians. After the 2005 Gulf Coast hurricanes, for example, many youth were evacuated without their parents or guardians and sent to different locations, leaving the youth alone in the care of relief agencies. Other youth were on their own for a variety of reasons before the storms and remained so afterwards. For all of these youth, school can be the most stable and secure environment, offering structure and resources to help overcome the traumas they have experienced and helping to regain their academic, social, and emotional footing. Yet without a parent or guardian to advocate for them and exercise parental rights, these youth may face unique barriers to accessing education and related support services. Fortunately, federal education law, the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act (Subtitle B--Education for Homeless Children and Youth), reauthorized as Title X, Part C of the No Child Left Behind Act, ensures educational protections for youth who are homeless and unaccompanied. This document explains key aspects of the law and provides strategies for implementation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is no question that students who are homeless, like all students, are entitled to be educated. A federal law, known as the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act, requires states to provide homeless children and youth with the same access to free public education as is available to other students. The Act also requires states to eliminate barriers to the enrollment, attendance or success in school of homeless students, to avoid the segregation of homeless students from the mainstream school environment and to provide access to the education and services needed to ensure that homeless students have an opportunity to meet the same challenging academic achievement standards to which all students are held. Parents and school administrators will sometimes disagree over whether a student is in fact homeless or, more frequently, where the student should be educated while homeless. As part of its obligation under the McKinney Act to ensure the education of homeless children and youth, the state of New Jersey has developed a series of procedures that are used to determine which school district should educate and transport a homeless student, and which school district should pay for the student's education and transportation. The purpose of these procedures is to ensure speedy enrollment and continuity of education, for students who are homeless. This pamphlet is designed to help parents, guardians and caregivers understand the legal concepts and procedures involved in disputes over the enrollment of homeless students in local public schools, and to inform them of their legal rights. A directory of County Superintendents, and County Offices of Education is appended. (Contains 47 endnotes.)

Book excerpt: Millions of children are on the move, both within and between countries, with or without their parents. The conditions under which movement takes place are often treacherous, putting migrant children, especially unaccompanied and separated children, at an increased risk of economic or sexual exploitation, abuse, neglect and violence. Policy responses to protect and support these migrant children are often fragmented and inconsistent and while children on the move have become a recognised part of today's global and mixed migration flows they are still largely invisible in debates on both child protection and migration.
