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.
