| Program Goal: To ensure access of homeless children and youth to the same free, appropriate public education as is provided to other children and youth. |
| Objective 1 of 1: Homeless children and youth will have greater access to a free and appropriate public education. |
| Indicator 1.1 of 2: State assessment participation: Percentage of homeless students that participate annually in the state assessments in reading and mathematics will increase. |
Source: McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act (MVHAA) Annual Report Frequency: Annually. Next Data Available: November 2006 Data collected by state assessments are validated by the individual state's data quality standards procedures. Data will reflect information principally from LEAs with McKinney-Vento subgrants. Limitations: For 2004 several states (less than 5) were unable to have their data system extract assessment information on homeless students or were impacted by the Summer 2005 hurricanes and unable to meet the data reporting deadline. Explanation: FY 2002 data established the baseline from a one-time data collection. However, the 2002 results could not be dissaggregated by subject matter. Beginning with 2004, data were reported dissaggregated by subject matter. The data to be collected from states are from LEAs that have subgrantees and are capable of reporting such data. However, approximately 10 percent of all school districts receive subgrant funds. |
