Every district leader shares responsibility for ensuring students can access school consistently and without barriers. For students experiencing homelessness or in foster care, fulfilling that responsibility is often far more complex, making attendance one of the first challenges districts must solve.
According to a new national survey, 66% of administrators say transportation issues have impacted their McKinney-Vento or foster care obligations, and 54% report falling short of legally required services as a result.
In this webinar, learn how findings from more than 800 district leaders, educators, and caregivers show that consistent transportation is closely tied to student attendance, academic and social success, and districts’ ability to meet their obligations to McKinney-Vento students and students in foster care. We’ll explore what the data reveals and the practical steps districts can take immediately.
What you’ll learn:
- Why transportation consistency is essential for improving attendance among McKinney-Vento students and students in foster care
- Practical ways districts can build more consistent transportation for students whose circumstances change quickly
