Iowa Department of Education
Three review formats are enclosed in this publication, along with two basic service checklists and a comprehensive program review guide. These formats were developed to serve as tools to be used locally by school district personnel and Boards of Education in the development of quality policies and procedures to serve homeless children and youth. The formats address the requirements of Chapter 33, Educating the Homeless, Iowa Administrative Code (Appendix A), and the requirements of the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act (Appendix B). In addition, they include policies and procedures that are monitored during the Iowa Department of Education's equity and school improvement accreditation visitations. Also appended are: (C) Duties of the LEA Liaison for Homeless Children and Youth; (D) Key Provisions in Title I Relating to Homelessness; (E) Provisions of McKinney-Vento Act of 2002; and (F) Homeless Children in the School Nutrition Programs Memorandum Sent to Homeless Liaisons.
