Report 2019-104: Youth Experiencing Homelessness: California's Education System for K-12 Inadequately Identifies and Supports These Youth (Release Date: November 2019)
Recommendation for Legislative Action
To ensure that Education provides effective oversight for the education of youth experiencing homelessness, the Legislature should require Education to provide guidance to local liaisons regarding their responsibilities under the McKinney-Vento Act, including that they must ensure that school personnel who provide services to youth experiencing homelessness receive training on the proper identification and reporting procedures. Also, it should require Education to develop procedures for its staff to use to verify that all LEA staff who provide services to these youth receive such training at least annually, as best practices recommend.
Description of Legislative Action
SB 400 (Chapter 400, Statutes of 2021) requires Education to develop and implement a system to verify that LEAs are providing federally required training to school personnel providing services to youth experiencing homelessness at least annually.
