Making the Most of the Title I, Part A Homeless Set Aside

Did you know that all local educational agencies are required to reserve a portion of their Title I Part A funds to serve students experiencing homelessness? These funds can be used in many ways, including to support the salary of the school district liaison or other homeless education positions, defray the cost of transportation (including by providing gas cards and limited car repairs), store cards, supplies, and more. Bring your questions and innovative examples!

Who should attend: Homeless education liaisons, state McKinney-Vento coordinators, state and local Title I administrators, school budget/finance office staff, school board members, and others.

Presenters:

  • Erin Patterson – Director of Education Initiatives, SchoolHouse Connection

  • Dr. Patricia Popp – Virginia Education for Homeless Children & Youth Coordinator

  • Lisa Ann H. Abernathey – Education Specialist, McKinney-Vento, Henrico County Public Schools, Virginia

  • Andrea Leon Foster – Director of Federal Programs, Sunnyside Unified School District

  • Aracelli Mendoza – Program Specialist, Federal Programs, Sunnyside Unified School District
