Description
The McKinney-Vento Homeless Education program, administered by the Colorado Department of Education, is designed to ensure that children and youth experiencing homelessness have full and equal access to public education. The program provides funding to local education agencies (LEAs) to identify eligible students, facilitate immediate enrollment, and connect families with necessary educational and community services. District-level liaisons play a central role in outreach, coordination, and advocacy to remove barriers to academic achievement for homeless students. The initiative also emphasizes training, collaboration, and compliance with federal requirements under the McKinney-Vento Act.
