McKinney-Vento Educational Enhancement Site

About

The McKinney-Vento Educational Program identifies children and youth and removes any barriers that would prevent them from attending school.  Social Service agencies collaborate  with the Caddo Parish School Board to develop and implement programs that will enhance the education of McKinney-Vento families.

Who is McKinney-Vento?

The term "homeless children and youth" means individuals who lack a fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence and includes those:

  • Living in an emergency shelter or transitional housing

  • Abandoned in hospitals

  • Living in motels, hotels, trailer parks or camp grounds due to lack of alternative adequate accommodations

  • Living in cars, parks, public spaces, abandoned buildings, substandard housing, bus or train stations or similar settings

  • "Doubled up" living with friends or family due to the loss of housing, economic hardship, or a similar reason

  • An "unaccompanied youth", not in the physical custody of a parent or guardian

  • Migrant children living in these conditions

Services

  • Academic remediation activities at the schools with the highest concentration of homeless children

  • Individual and group counseling
