This session provides an overview of key components of Neglected or Delinquent (N or D) programs, including requirements tied to N or D identification. Participants will learn an overview of the program and how to use data to support continuous program improvement and review essential monitoring elements such as fiscal requirements, timelines, site visits, and self-assessments. The session will also highlight best practices for supporting students during entry and exit transitions to promote successful outcomes.
LEA staff may not be aware that the McKinney-Vento education of homeless children and youth program requires a formal dispute process under specific circumstances. In this session, you will discover where to find the statute reference to this program requirement, be able to differentiate between situations that are complaints versus potential disputes and become familiar with the applicable vocabulary. Session attendees will receive reference materials to assist with the evaluation of their LEA dispute process and ensure it complies with the McKinney-Vento state plan.
