In Kern County, there are an estimated 5,000 children and youth experiencing homelessness. This professional development experience was created to help support those students. In this course, you will gain a basic understanding of how to identify students experiencing homelessness, and learn more about the McKinney-Vento Act and the role of the McKinney-Vento Liaison.

Along the way, we will provide key information and resources to share with colleagues and families, and you'll feel confident in supporting students in your district!
