This report is the second in a series that unpacks the barriers to access that families face, the variety of solutions that navigation organizations have developed, and the challenges that limit the reach and impact of those solutions. This series offers recommendations for how to help navigators address these challenges and support more families and students. Navigation organizations provide important supports for families looking to participate in direct funding programs. They can be partners in raising awareness of the programs, while their navigators help families prepare applications and select learning options that meet their child's needs. Addressing logistical barriers associated with direct funding policies and programs takes up a significant amount of time, however, and the time spent on logistical barriers then limits the time navigators and families can spend on what they came together to do: Connect to learning options aligned to students' needs, interests, and goals. This report discusses how better policy designs and stronger implementation of direct funding programs can minimize these logistical barriers and enable navigation organizations to direct more resources to providing educational guidance.
