About the Webinar

This is a webinar for McKinney-Vento liaisons and other school staff on how Missouri’s Qualified Minor law equips them to support unaccompanied youth. We will cover how the law applies to health care, housing, shelter, and banking, its liability provisions, and the questions that come up most often in practice. We’ll also review updated resource materials tailored for school personnel use.

• Victoria Dempsey – Attorney/Program Director, Youth & Family Advocacy Program, Legal Services of Eastern Missouri
• Tera Bock – Director of Homeless Education, Office of Quality Schools, Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education
• Karen Rice – Senior Manager, Education Initiatives, SchoolHouse Connection
