The Yuba County Office of Education, Prevention Support and Services provides support and resources to the school districts, county community schools, and county-wide charter schools under its jurisdiction in the implementation of McKinney-Vento. Technical assistance and training are available to district homeless liaisons and other staff who work with homeless children and youth and their families.
The McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act (McKinney-Vento Act) (42 U.S.C. § 11431-11435) is federal legislation that ensures the educational rights and protections of children and youth experiencing homelessness and provides these students with much-needed stability, safety, and support. This means that all local educational agencies (LEA) must ensure that each child and youth experiencing homelessness has equal access to the same free, appropriate public education as other children and that barriers to identification, enrollment, and retention in school are identified and removed.
Additionally, the Program Coordinator serves as the County Liaison to resolve the appeal of the LEA dispute decision regarding eligibility, school selection, and enrollment before the appeal to the California Department of Education (CDE) Homeless Education Program.
