Special Education, Homelessness and Foster Care

When the McKinney-Vento Act, Every Student Succeeds Act, and Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) face off in a preschool or school, which law wins? This webinar will discuss the intersection of these three laws and how they work together in practice, from preK through high school. We’ll address questions such as surrogate parents for unaccompanied youth and children in foster care, evaluating students who have missed a lot of school or whose achievement may be impacted by homelessness or foster care, immediate enrollment for students with Individualized Education Programs (IEPs), transportation, private schools, and everyone’s stickiest question: who pays?
