  Homelessness: Local Program Planning and Review Guides:
Services for Homeless Children and Youth
  This guide includes two review formats, a Basic School and Community Service/Activity Checklists and a Comprehensive Local Education Agency Program Review Guide. These formats were developed to serve as tools to be used locally by school district personnel and Boards of Education in assessing needs and planning 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 and the requirements of the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act, Title X, NCLB. In addition, they include policies and procedures that are monitored during the Iowa Department of Education’s equity and school improvement accreditation visitations. Chapter 33 and the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act are included in the Appendices.
