New York State's plan for homeless education responds to requirements of the Stewart B. McKinney Homeless Assistance Act of 1987. The plan consists of a foreword, seven sections, and appendices. Section 1 provides an overview of homelessness nationally and in New York State. Section 2 summarizes federal legislation for homeless children and youth. Section 3 describes barriers to the education of homeless children and New York State regulatory correctives to these inequities. Section 4 surveys the status of the provision of educational services to homeless children in New York City and the rest of the state. Section 5 reports on the number and location of homeless children in New York City and elsewhere statewide. Section 6 details the state plan for homeless education for 1989 through 1991; it presents four overall goals and corresponding approaches, objectives, strategies, and expected results. Section 7 presents a timeline for the implementation of the state plan, which consists of 18 activities, and the time schedules or dates by which each is to be initiated. Appendices include the following: (1) state regulations and amendments; (2) an administrative directive; (3) census and survey information; (4) a list of school-based services for homeless students; and (5) a list of Homeless Advisory Committee members.
