The goal of these flyers is to educate school personnel who may not be as familiar with the McKinney-Vento Federal Act and all the requirements it provides for students experiencing homelessness, regardless of documentation status. It can also be a good resource for parents and students. This informs families who can benefit from knowing their rights under McKinney-Vento. In addition to identifying the rights provided under the federal act, there is a QR code at the bottom left corner of the flyer, which takes you to a Linktree of resources, including: Best Practices for Supporting Immigrant Students Experiencing Homelessness by the National Center for Homeless Education https://files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/ED590725.pdf The Texas Department of State Health Services’ Back-to-School Immunization guide https://www.dshs.texas.gov/immunizations/school/back-to-school The Texas Appleseed website https://www.texasappleseed.org/ The WeDoExist website has materials to help youth secure their identification documents, understand the signs of human trafficking, and more. https://www.wedoexist.org/
