罗得岛州:教育厅拨款33.6万美元 助11个学区支持无家可归学生

罗得岛州教育厅(RIDE)10月19日宣布,向11个地方教育机构发放总额33.6万美元的 McKinney-Vento 法案补助,用于支持无家可归学生的就学。
McKinney-Vento 法案是联邦保障无家可归儿童和青少年受教育权利的法律,要求学区保障这类学生就近入学、提供交通等支持。州教育厅表示,这笔补助将帮助学区识别无家可归学生,并为他们提供保持学业连续性所需的服务。
教育厅称,获得补助的学区将把资金用于联络员、交通和个案支持等工作,确保学生即使居所不稳定也能继续在原校或就近学校就读。
Rhode Island: Education Department Awards $336,000 to Help Students Experiencing Homelessness
The Rhode Island Department of Education (RIDE) announced on October 19 that it has awarded $336,000 in McKinney-Vento subgrants to 11 local education agencies to support students experiencing homelessness.
The McKinney-Vento Act is the federal law safeguarding the educational rights of homeless children and youth, requiring districts to keep such students enrolled and to provide supports including transportation. RIDE said the subgrants will help districts identify students experiencing homelessness and provide the services they need to maintain educational stability.
The department said funded districts will use the money for liaison work, transportation and case support, so that students can remain in their school of origin or enroll locally even when their housing is unstable.
