    Education for Homeless Children and Youth Program

    Analysis of 2005-2006 Federal Data Collection and Three-Year Comparison

    ExECutivE SummarY

    This report provides a summary and analysis of the 2005-06 State data collection required

    by the U.S. Department of Education of the McKinney-Vento Education of Homeless Children

    and Youth program. The 2005-06 data is also presented in comparison to the 2003-04 and

    2004-05 data collections.

    Nationally, over 907,000 homeless students were reported enrolled by LEAs with and without

    subgrants in 2005-06 (a 38% increase from 2004-05). Over 450,000 students were

    reported served by McKinney-Vento subgrants in 2005-06 (a 28% increase from 2004-05).

    The number of homeless students tested by grade level in both reading and mathematics

    increased in the 2005-06 school year, as did the number procient in each category.

    The large number of students who became homeless due to Hurricanes Katrina and Rita

    during the 2005-06 school year is a distinct factor in the increase in numbers reported. The

    numbers reported in each category have generally increased each year since the inceptionof the federally required data collection in 2004; however, the subsequent renement of the

    requirements for data collection over the three-year period has contributed to some uctuation

    in the numbers from year to year in some categories.

    Education for Homeless Children and Youth Program

    Analysis of 2005-2006 Federal Data Collection and Three-Year Comparison

    introduCtion

    The purpose of the McKinney-Vento Education for Homeless Children and Youth program is to

    improve the educational outcomes for children and youth in homeless situations. The statutes

    for this program are designed to ensure all homeless children and youth have equal access to

    public school education. States and LEAs must review and revise policies and regulations to

    remove barriers to enrollment, attendance, and academic achievement for homeless childrenand youth.

    The U.S. Department of Educations Ofce of Elementary and Secondary Education requires

    all State, local, or tribal governments, SEAs (State Education Agency), or LEAs (Local Education

    Agency) (primary) to collect and submit information to be able to determine the extents to

    which States ensure homeless children and youth have access to a free, appropriate public

    education under the McKinney-Vento Act (Title X, Part C, of the No Child Left Behind Act

    of 2001). As stated in Section 724 (h) of the law, this data should include the number and

    location of homeless children and youths; the education and related services such children andyouths receive; and the extent to which the needs of homeless children and youths are being

    met.

    In 2004, for the rst time, the U.S. Department of Education required States to submit

    McKinney-Vento program data that was veriable and based on actual enrollment of homeless

    students. Estimated data was no longer acceptable. The decision to require States and school

    districts to collect data only on children and youth enrolled in school was to ensure that data

    are collected consistently and accurately across the nation.

    States were asked to provide data on total number of LEAs in their States; total number of

    homeless students enrolled; and primary nighttime residence of homeless students for LEAs with

    and without subgrants. Only those LEAs with McKinney-Vento subgrants were asked to provide

    additional data on number of homeless students served; numbers of preschool, migrant and

    unaccompanied youth; educational support services; barriers to the education of homeless

    children and youth; and academic progress of homeless children and youth.

    Data for school years 2003-04 and 2004-05 were compiled and submitted by State

    Coordinators of homeless education to the U.S. Department of Educations coordinator for the

    Education of Homeless Children and Youth program. For the 2005-06 school year, for the rst

    time, the U.S. Department of Education required online submission of McKinney-Vento program

    data as part of the Consolidated State Performance Report (CSPR), furthering its goal of state

    data collection through a single portal.

    LEAs have had to adapt their data systems and many are still transitioning to meet these new

    federal data collection requirements; consequently, all LEAs with and without McKinney-Vento

    subgrants are not represented in the data. A signicant number of LEAs submitted incomplete

    data. Data reported is as submitted in the CSPR report. Any inconsistencies in data submitted

    are a reection of reporting difculties at the state level.

    The numbers submitted in each question category have generally increased each year since

    the federally required data collections inception in 2004 and the subsequent renement andmodication of the requirements for data collection.

    The online portal for the CSPR opened for submissions on November 1, 2006 and closed

    December 1, 2006. It reopened for corrections on February 15, 2007 and closed on

    February 28, 2007. All fty States, Puerto Rico, and the Bureau of Indian Education submitted

    2005-06 data. All but two States had submitted and certied data by the December 1deadline (these two States completed their data submission by the close of the corrections

    period). Nineteen States (36%) submitted problem-free McKinney-Vento data by December

    1. Nine States (17%) resubmitted data during the corrections period in February, 2007 and

    two more States were allowed to submit corrected data in the spring of 2007.

    numbEr of lEas

    The total number of LEAs with and without subgrants reported by the fty States, Puerto Rico

    and the Bureau of Indian Education in 2005-06 was 16,263. Of these LEAs, 12,550 actually

    submitted data (77%). 856 (5%) of these LEAs had McKinney-Vento subgrants. 804 (94%)

    districts with subgrants submitted data. Twenty-six States (50%) had all LEAs, with and without

    subgrants, submitting data.

    Twenty-six States (50%) did not have all LEAs in their State reporting (either LEAs with

    subgrants, LEAs without subgrants, or a combination of both). Texas only submitted data from

    31 of its 66 subgrants (47%).

    Data uctuation over the three-year period can be attributed to how the individual States

    identify subgrants to LEAs for the purpose of data submission. Illinois and Pennsylvania, for

    example, base their numbers on regional area counts rather than local school counts.

    total EnrollEd

    Homeless children and youth are dened as enrolled if they are attending classes and

    participating fully in school activities. Nationally, forty-three States (83%) reported increases

    in the total homeless children and youth enrolled in LEAs with and without subgrants in the

    2005-06 school year. Over 907,000 homeless students were reported enrolled altogether

    (a 38% increase from 2004-05). 51% (460,243) of the total number of homeless studentsreported enrolled in 2005-06 was from districts with subgrants. See Appendix 1 for a three-

    year comparison of total students enrolled in LEAs with and without subgrants by state and by

    grade level.

    Another important factor impacting the increase of homeless children and youth reported

    enrolled in LEAs with and without McKinney-Vento subgrants 2005-06 school year are the

    students who became homeless due to Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Louisiana, for example,

    reported six times as many homeless students in 2005-06 as in 2004-05 (from 16,595 in2004-05 to 118,351 in 2005-06), a phenomenon that can be directly attributed to the effects

    of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.

    Primary nighttime residence is dened as the type of residence (e.g., shelter, hotel, doubled-

    up in the home of a relative or friend) where a homeless child or unaccompanied youth was

    staying at time of enrollment or type of residence where a currently enrolled child or youth

    was staying when he or she was identied as homeless. As the primary nighttime residence at

    the time of enrollment is the basis for identifying homeless children and youth, the data counts

    regarding residence should correspond with data counts recorded for number of homeless

    children and youth enrolled in LEAs with and without subgrants. For each one child recorded,

    one type of residence for this child should be recorded.

    The category doubled-up (dened in the McKinney-Vento Act as sharing the housing of

    other persons due to loss of housing, economic hardship, or a similar reason) was listed as

    the primary nighttime residence for at least one-half of the total students enrolled duringthe three-year period (an increase from 50% of total enrolled in 2003-04 to 56% of

    total enrolled in 2005-06). Students living in shelters constitute approximately one-fourth

    of the total enrolled each year. A review of the three-year data shows little change in the

    percentages reported for each of the other categories.

    Students served are dened as those students who receive services through McKinney-Vento

    subgrants.

    In 2005-06, 460,243 homeless children and youth were reported enrolled in LEAs with

    McKinney-Vento subgrants. Of those homeless children and youth reported enrolled in the

    districts with subgrants, 451,988 (98%) were reported served by McKinney-Vento services.

    This percentage is unavailable for the 2003-04 and 2004-05 school years because the

    enrollment data from LEAs with and LEAs without subgrants was submitted as an aggregate

    gure for each of those school years.

    The 2005-06 data collection shows a 28% increase in the number of homeless children andyouth reported served by LEAs with subgrants from the number reported served in 2004-

    05. LEAs with subgrants (856) represent 5% of the total number of LEAs reported (16,263),

    however, these 5% report 50% (460,243) of the total number of homeless students enrolled

    (907,228) in 2005-06.

    Analysis of 2005-2006 Federal Data Collection and Three-Year Comparison

    barriErS to tHE EduCation of HomElESS CHildrEn and YoutH

    The number one barrier reported by LEAs with McKinney-Vento subgrants over the three-year

    period has consistently been transportation to and from the school of origin. The McKinney-

    Vento Act requires school districts to provide transportation for homeless children and youth

    once the determination has been made that remaining in the school of origin is in the childs

    best interest and if requested by the parent or guardian. Many LEAs struggle to implementthis requirement, especially if the child needs to be transported across district or State lines. In

    2005-06, 665 of 856 (78%) districts with subgrants indicated that transportation for homeless

    students was an existing barrier.

    Although barriers in homeless education are typically dened in terms of students educational

    access and success, the transportation barrier is more accurately seen as challenges that LEAs

    experience in their efforts to carry out the provision of the law related to transportation to

    and from the school of origin. The notable increase in the percentage of LEAs with subgrants

    reporting transportation as a barrier in 2005-06 occurred in a year in which both the costs oftransportation (fuel, etc.) and numbers of homeless students (including those displaced by the

    Gulf Coast hurricanes) increased signicantly. These conditions created nancial and logistical

    challenges for school districts.

    McKinney-Vento subgrant programs were asked for the rst time in the 2002-03 Federal data

    collection to provide academic achievement data based on State assessments for homeless

    students enrolled in their programs during the school year. Initially, many districts had difculty

    providing achievement data specically on homeless children and youth. Since then, the data

    collection has steadily improved, even though at least four States per year have been unable

    to provide data (but not the same States each year). The No Child Left Behind Act requires

    testing only once during grades 9-12 rather than every year as is the requirement for grades

    3-8. It is also notable that for both reading and mathematics, the level of prociency for

    homeless high school students included in the State assessments is lower than in the elementary

    grades.

    In 2005-06, the number of all homeless students who were enrolled in LEAs with subgrants in

    grades 3-8 and high school combined who were assessed in reading (48%) and mathematics(52%) showed a marked increase from the number assessed in 2004-05. The number of those

    homeless students assessed who were meeting or exceeding State prociency levels increased

    from 42% to 48% in reading and from 41% to 43% in mathematics.
