• Students suffer psychologically, socially, and academically from mobility.
• It takes children an average of 4-6 months to recover academically after changing schools.
Research on School Mobility (cont.)Research on School Mobility (cont.)
• Mobile students are less likely to participate in extracurricular activities and more likely to act out or get into trouble.
Research on School Mobility (cont.)Research on School Mobility (cont.)
• Mobility during high school greatly diminishes the likelihood of graduation.
• Study found students who changed high schools even once were less than half as likely as stable students to graduate, even controlling for other factors.

Summary Delinquent Behaviors by
Mobile Youth
• Increased mobility is related with increased delinquent behavior
• Mobility is most closely related to being drunk or high at school, attacking someone with the intent of harming them, and school suspension

School Stability—School Stability—Key ProvisionsKey Provisions
• Students can stay in their school of origin for the duration of homelessness and until the end of the school year when they find permanent housing, as long as that is in their best interest.
• School of origin—school attended when permanently housed or in which last enrolled.
•Can always also choose the local school (any school others living in the same area are eligible to attend).
•Best interest—keep homeless students in their schools of origin, to the extent “feasible”, unless this is against the parents’ or guardians’ wishes.
NAEHCY • www.naehcy.org
30
Feasibility—Feasibility—USDE Sample CriteriaUSDE Sample Criteria
• A child-centered, individualized determination • Continuity of instruction• Age of the child or youth• Safety of the child or youth• Likely length of stay in temporary housing• Likely area where family will find permanent
housing• Student’s need for special instructional
programs• Impact of commute on education• School placement of siblings• Time remaining in the school year
NAEHCY • www.naehcy.org
31
Transportation—Key Transportation—Key ProvisionsProvisions
• LEAs must provide transportation to and from their school of origin, at a parent’s or guardian’s request (or at the liaison’s request for unaccompanied youth).
• If crossing LEA lines, they must determine how to divide the responsibility and share the cost, or they must share the cost equally.
NAEHCY • www.naehcy.org
32
Transportation—Key Transportation—Key ProvisionsProvisions
• LEAs also must provide students in homeless situations with transportation services comparable to those provided to other students.
• LEAs must eliminate barriers to the school enrollment and retention of students experiencing homelessness (including transportation barriers).
NAEHCY • www.naehcy.org
33
Transportation of Homeless Students - Charter Schools
• Ultimately LEA’s Responsibility
• Whether the LEA does or does not transport non-homeless students to a charter school is not a factor in the LEA’s requirements under McKinney-Vento to transport homeless students if it is their school of origin [Section 722(g)(1)(J)(iii)(I)].
NAEHCY • www.naehcy.org
34
Transportation of Homeless Students - Charter Schools
• Office of Independent Education and Parental Choice’s has produced a Technical Assistance Paper on Transportation of Homeless Students

Transportation to and from the School of Origin
• Ten (30%) of the 33 Florida school districts with McKinney-Vento subgrants reported transportation as the number one barrier.
• Transportation to and from the school of origin has been the number one barrier for districts with subgrants for the past five (5) school years.

Implementation ChallengesImplementation Challenges
• Lack of funding• Capacity/staffing - for McKinney-Vento and
transportation departments• Logistical puzzles - coordinating across
district and/or state lines• Young children - capacity and safety• Children with special needs • Extracurricular activities, summer school,
after-school programs• Parental involvement
NAEHCY • www.naehcy.org
39
Transportation Strategies
• Develop close ties among local liaisons, school staff, pupil transportation staff, and shelter workers.
• Use school buses (including special education, magnet school, and other buses).
• Develop formal or informal agreements with school districts where homeless children cross district lines.
• Use public transit where feasible.• Use approved carpools, van or taxi services.• Reimburse parents and youth for gas.
NAEHCY • www.naehcy.org

Sample Work Flow: Adrian, MI
1. School buses: a. Re-route; extend; create transfer points.b. “Share” students who attend voc-tech
center.c. Employ school district vans used for sports
events (driven by transportation director)
2. Public transportation: a. Not ideal in small town, or when students
are involved in extracurricular activities
NAEHCY • www.naehcy.org
41
Sample Work Flow: Adrian, MI
3. Teachers:a. Liaison matches teachers who live in
one district, but work in another with students.
b. Approved by superintendent (teachers’ insurance and school insurance).
4. Fuel cards from Speedway, other “mom and pop” stations. a. Combines fuel cards with bus
extensions
NAEHCY • www.naehcy.org
42
5. Taxi as Last Resort:a. Collects insurance, background
checks, licenses. Re-evaluates each situation for alternatives
b. Uses taxi in emergency situations (sick child, etc.)
c. Arranges for parents to accompany young children
d. Taxi company does provide a discount, looking at fund-raisers
6. Investigating use of church buses

New OpportunitiesNew Opportunities• ARRA stimulus funding: $3.1 million for
McKinney-Vento in Florida
• 10% of ARRA funds may be used to cover the “excess cost” of transporting students to and from the school of origin
• Title I, Part A: According to USDE guidance, cannot be used for school of origin transportation, but can be used for staffing, preschool transportation, other transportation
NAEHCY • www.naehcy.org
44
Spotlight: Fairfax County, VA
• Used Title I, ARRA funds to hire a full-time homeless transportation specialist
• Liaison determines eligibility and best interest, makes referral
• Transportation specialist determines most efficient, economical, safe method of transportation
• Specialist re-routes existing school bus transportation, accesses any special education transportation, reviews the public bus routes, and finds out if the parent or youth has their own transportation and can use gas reimbursement
• Specialist tracks students in a database, looks at the individual school attendance to see if the transportation is improving the attendance of the student
• So far, greatly reduced use of taxis
NAEHCY • www.naehcy.org
45
Spotlight: St. Paul, MN
• Used Title I, Part A funds to hire a part-time homeless transportation specialist
• All requests from homeless program go through specialist; she interfaces with transportation department
• Minnesota has weighted reimbursement for homeless transportation; specialist handles reporting requirements for this reimbursement
• On-line database for transportation routers and homeless team; all requests entered
• Database helps program trouble-shoot when a child misses the bus, or when a bus is late
• Looking at hiring a pool of substitute aides for homeless children with special needs
NAEHCY • www.naehcy.org
46
Spotlight: Janesville, WI
• Janesville school district contracts with a community member to transport young children to and from school.
• The district placed a newspaper ad asking retired people to respond if they were interested in being paid to provide district transportation services.
• The district pays the contractor for morning, mid-morning, and afternoon services.
NAEHCY • www.naehcy.org
47
Janesville provides the following:
• Background check of the driver• Health physical • Vehicle inspection• Passenger and route information• Pay a flat stipend of $1.00/mile, an additional
$0.485/mile (federal reimbursement rate) to reimburse the driver for additional insurance coverage, and a $5.00/morning and 5.00/afternoon retainer fee.
Spotlight: Janesville, WI
NAEHCY • www.naehcy.org
48
Spotlight: Tucson, Arizona• Sunnyside School District was spending $200,000
- $300,000 per year to transport homeless students, primarily in cabs
• New transportation director: normalize life for homeless kids; questioned outsourcing
• Divided the city into quadrants; organized buses within quadrants to respond to homeless students
• Dramatically reduced costs• Bus drivers do more than transport: report to CPS;
help children get to school on time• Drivers for these routes are selected for empathy,
sensitivity, patience • Students tutoring other students on buses
NAEHCY • www.naehcy.org
49
Federal Policy Outlook
• FY2010 Appropriations: $65 million proposed, same as FY2009 (funding reaches 9% of all school districts in the Nation)
• In Florida, 61% of school districts receive funding ranging from $20,000 to $125,00
• Reauthorization of McKinney-Vento as part of Elementary and Secondary Education Act - expected in 2010
NAEHCY • www.naehcy.org
50
Key Issues in Reauthorization
• Increase capacity and training of liaisons
• Increase authorized funding level for the program
• Require the amount of Title I set-aside to be based on objective criteria
• Explicitly authorize transportation to the school of origin as an allowable use of Title I set-aside
• Strengthen provisions for preschool children
