About the Webinar

SchoolHouse Connection and Attendance Works developed a Local Educational Agency (LEA) Toolkit: Improving Attendance for Students Experiencing Homelessness. Supported by the Imagine Learning Foundation, the toolkit brings together adaptable templates, sample materials, and practical resources already being used by districts across the country to improve student attendance.

Resources come from urban, suburban, and rural districts across the country and are designed to be downloaded and adapted to local needs. Together, they help districts move from ideas to action and strengthen attendance support for McKinney-Vento students.

Watch this webinar to learn more about the toolkit and hear directly from LEA leaders who contributed their tools and experiences. Presenters share how their districts moved from strategy to action to support the regular attendance of students experiencing homelessness.
