3 Executive Summary The McKinney-Vento Education for Homeless Children and Youth (EHCY) program is designed to address the problems that homeless children and youth have faced in enrolling, attending, and succeeding in school. Under this program, the Georgia Department of Education (GaDOE) must ensure that each homeless child and youth has equal access to the same free, appropriate public education, including preschool education, as other children and youth. Homeless children and youth must have access to the educational and other services that they need to enable them to meet the same challenging state student academic achievement standards to which all students are held. In addition, homeless students may not be separated from the mainstream school environment. States and local educational agencies (LEAs) are required to review and undertake steps to revise laws, regulations, practices or policies that may act as a barrier to the enrollment, attendance, or success in school for homeless children and youth. The GaDOE Homeless Education Program is required by the U.S. Department of Education (ED) Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (OESE) to submit data on program performance. Data reflect information principally from LEAs with McKinney-Vento subgrants; however, some information regarding all LEAs throughout the state is required. The number of LEAs reporting data has varied over the past three years. In FY08, the number of LEAs reporting data was 132 and in FY09, the number reporting data was 181. The increase in the number of LEAs reporting may be attributable to increases in the number of homeless children and youth being identified. Data collected from the LEAs is submitted as part of the Consolidated State Performance Report (CSPR), a data collection tool administered by the annually by the OESE. The CSPR is submitted via the EDFacts data collection system. EDFacts is an ED initiative to establish one federally coordinated, K-12 education data repository, located in ED. McKinney-Vento program data must be submitted as a part of the CSPR. The CSPR questions for the McKinney-Vento program are: The number of LEAs with and without McKinney-Vento subgrants Number of homeless students enrolled in LEAs with and without McKinney-Vento subgrants Primary Nighttime residence by category in LEAs with and without McKinney-Vento subgrants Homeless students served in LEAs with McKinney-Vento subgrants Subpopulations of homeless students served in LEAs with McKinney-Vento subgrants Educational Support Services featured in LEAs served by McKinney-Vento subgrants Barriers to the education of homeless students in LEAs with McKinney-Vento subgrants Academic performance of homeless students served in LEAs with McKinney-Vento subgrants This report will provide required CSPR data for all of the LEAs in Georgia regardless of receiving McKinney- Vento funds. The report will also examine certain CSPR criteria in detail and provide a year to year comparison. July 5, 2011 Page 1 of 28

4 FY10 MCKINNEY-VENTO GRANT AWARDS In 2010 GaDOE awarded $2,369,710 in federal funds to 45 LEAs throughout the state to service the needs of homeless children and youth. Each year, LEAs have a chance to apply for a competitive grant that can enhance the quality of how their homeless children and youth are served. Award amounts are based on the available funds, quality of grant application, and the number of homeless students reported by each LEA. Final approval for the grant is given by the State Board of Education. Below is the list of 2010 McKinney-Vento grant recipients.

6 LEA DATA COLLECTION SUMMARY The Education of Homeless Children and Youth survey opened for submission on August 1, 2010 and closed on September 30, 2010 in the GaDOE Consolidated Application. During FY10, GaDOE worked to streamline the survey submittal process for LEAs, by pre-populating certain data elements with information collected in the annual Student Records (SR) report. The following is an analysis of the information collected and submitted for Fiscal Year (FY) 2010 including comparisons with data submitted for FY08 and FY09.

7 HOMELESS STUDENTS ENROLLED IN LEAS WITH AND WITHOUT MCKINNEY-VENTO SUBGRANTS (CSPR ) Homeless children and youth are defined as enrolled if they are attending classes and participating fully in school activities. In FY10, Georgia LEAs reported a total of 26,428 homeless students, a 10 percent increase from FY09. This percentage pertains only to the number of homeless children and youth reported and not to the percentage of homeless students compared to all children and youth enrolled in Georgia LEAs.

21 BARRIERS TO THE EDUCATION OF HOMELESS CHILDREN AND YOUTH ( ) In FY10 the most common barrier to the education of homeless children and youth reported by Georgia LEAs with the McKinney-Vento subgrant was transportation to and from the school of origin. Out of 45 grantees, 26 (58 percent) listed transportation as a major barrier. Transportation has been the most frequently reported barrier for the past three years. School records were the second most common barrier reported by Georgia LEAs with the McKinney-Vento subgrant. School records were reported as a barrier by 12 (27 percent) LEAs. The following table illustrates how many of the LEAs with McKinney-Vento subgrants reported various barriers to the education of homeless children and youth.

25 DISCIPLINE DATA The figures below illustrate the discipline rates of homless students enrolled in Georgia LEAs from The CSPR does not require this information to be reported. There are two types of counts, which include action count and student count. Action represents how many times a students may have received a certain type of repremand. Student count represents the number of students diciplined. For example, a student sent to ISS two times in a school year will show as two actions, but only one student.
